Tiki Finds

On odd find... Promotional Tiki Mug for Weathermatic.

I've never seen this one before and not sure what to make of it. It feels very... hmmm... corporate.

It's 13inches tall and unsigned

Maybe Phillipines older style, or preTonga stlye Hawaiian carved?

Me thinks Poly-Asian crap, that one. The mixed blonde/dark hardwood is one sign. Being sold as an "interesting" feature, it's actually a sign of younger, cheaper material, in moi opinion.

I have a glass candle holder of this, same size but no markings on it. i assume the mug was made from a mold of the glass candle holder. where the words weathermatic on yours are, is a blank space on mine. I'm sure others have or have seen the candle holder. Did you get this on etsy ?? I saw one there recently and i notice it was sold.

Yes.. I got it on Etsy. I'd never seen it before and looked interesting enough. But it's nothing too special either. I did seem a little strange that what looks like a corporate give away was that unique. So yes, it being made from some sort of hobbyist type mold would make sense. Also, it has the flat bottom (as opposed to concave or recessed) which seems to be a common aspect of hobbyist mugs.

Got this from an elderly lady from Hawaii
Family said a friend made it for her.

I also picked up 101 Hawaiian CDs

Very nice Jon!
Mahalo for sharing.

That canoe looks like a prison made item. Usually rolled paper was used
In construction. The ones I've seen weren't as decorated. Maybe made after
Prison or for someone special. Nice!

This site is simply amazing!
Mahalo house!

My wife bought me an early Christmas present during our last trip to Palm Springs. The bowl holds about 108 ounces, has 4 matching mugs and also a cool print-this was # 50 of 100
Gonna have to add another room.
Cheers

Myers for sizing - I already had a carved mug but that one is slightly taller (from the Phillipines I think?), the maori tiki was just a good fun find!

Souvenir pennant. Nice neon colors & tiki.

LP i got from Ebay recently. Never seen it before. It's an Australian release featuring the Herbie Marks Trio, 1972, photographed at the Hawaiian Eye Restaurant.
Unfortunately, the music itself is disappointing, as it does NOT feature the accordionist playing that instrument.Instead, for this LP, he plays the organ. So, it's a very standard issue Hawaiian background LP. I was hoping for a strange LP...:) But it looks cool anyway.

I found this! Can anyone give me more information on this shirt?
All i know is that it was for the 45th Anniversary of the Disneyland Tiki Room, and there are a few other colors.

Anyone know more about this? Was it limited? Was there only a certain amount produced for each color?

Tiki Topple makes a good drinking game.

Excellent! I haven't cracked it yet - gonna take it to an annual New Year's Eve party where we play board games.

This wood carving is about 25 inches tall and heavy. Just a tourist piece, but a nice find out here in the corn fields of Indiana. That's right... I found it in the middle of a damn corn field! :wink:

Two Tepco skull mugs among the Halloween merch at Value Village.

Sweet Daddy Tiki great find on those two. I love thrifting in October because I can always find vintage skull mugs--usually Kahiki or OMC around these parts. Glad to see its a trend in other parts of the world too :)

Been finding a lot these days but here are a just a few that are new to me:
Desk set

Oh and I don't really consider this a true "find" but I did stop in at my fav Long Beach antique store and score 15 copies of this Black Velvet Masterpieces book for only $5.00 each which was pretty rad since the book is filled with tons of Hawaiian and female nude paintings that I have never seen before. Good book--pick it up if you get the chance.

At first glance i thought this was a regular run of the mill TV coconut with a weird treasure craft type glaze...

I flipped it over to see that it was from Trader Dick's in Reno. I thought I had every piece of barware from Trader Dick's, but I'd never seen a coconut mug!

Cavemoai cool find on that coconut. Never seen one either--nice when someone can find something new--thanks for sharing!

Cavemoai - what's that tall one in the back, next to the lamp? Can I see a shot of that one? Looks cool... like a mug I just got but different colors. I'll post a pic of mine shortly.

HA! Bill, you totally outbid me for that hobbiest bumatay mug! It was even local to me, and i had arranged a pick up had I been the high bidder (which I was until the last ten seconds)! And yes, the one in the back is also a bumatay. It was made as a ceramic statue. It's pretty tall, about 18 inches

Here's a nice little yard sale score from today.... I asked the lady if she had anymore stuff but but she didn't and that it belonged to her friend.... I just wish her friend had thought to steal some plates, menu's, and a couple of mugs to go along with the Tea Cup...lol

Haha! That was you, Cavemoai? Don't count your chickens before they hatch, my mom always said.
I've never seen this one before this auction, but really dig it.

Don't really need more mugs from Accoutrements, but then, this is the first I found the four pack. (I'm just a guy who can't say "no".)

It's been a while since I've had a good find I thought was worth posting but I couldn't let this one slip by. It does have me a little perplexed. I've certainly seen this Trader Vic's mug in black before but the multiple shades of brown on this one are new to me.

Mmmm... and isn't the face expression different too?

MNZ, your find should start lots of chatter, Mahalo for sharing.
