We ended up taking home a little mask instead.

Years ago at an estate sale for a Garlic rancher in Gilroy California we also found that mask. He traveled the world and bought it back from PNG. It looks like our masks were made by the same artist/villager.

Your mask and ours was very sparce on top when it came to the cassowary feathers. On eBay I won an auction for a small cassowary feather wisk broom, hung on the wall to the right. I pulled out some of the feathers and stuck them into the top of our mask to restore it.

Congratulations on your find, we think it is one of the best PNG masks we have ever seen. Cheers, Wendy

Picked from the wreckage of a tall ship who's name is lost. It's belly torn on the reef and it's cargo thrown on the nameless sands of a forgotten Pacific island. I gladly traded the old captain of a copra hauler a half empty bottle of rum for it :D found at a local flea market. Rusty, crusty broken and dented. It's perfect for my bar and will soon shine again as a hanging lamp for that touch of nautical style.

Slow couple weeks out there:

Good stuff in the fields today, 2 Coco Joes lava tikis I didn't have, a wooden tiki in skirt and lei that says Bora Bora on the back, a brown mug with 2 different Kus on it that I suspect is a cheap Chinese one (I hope I'm wrong) and a Suffering Bastard Martinique Rum bottle.

All this time I thought I had another bottle that I believed someone modified the cap on but now I see the one I have is much larger and heavier. So I'm wondering if Trader Vic's made suffering bastard paperweights.

:o Tipsy, that's awesome! Good story behind that find?

bought on craigslist- owner had them of 15 years. found them standing along the curb amongst some trash on garbage day in one of the nearby suburbs he used to live in. needed room in his apartment so he had to let them go.

Bowl is LaTour Hawaii-made in differnt colors-nice find!

[ Edited by: Psycho Tiki D 2014-09-10 09:14 ]

Thanks PTD, La tour looks close, but different.
The La Tour bowl is curved and touched the ground, mine doesn't.
The Ku headdresses are shaped differently too (la Tour is scalloped at edges).
And then, not shown in photos, the bases are different, glazed/not glazed etc.
Could've changed over time, but I think they're divergent enough to be someone else (knock-off?)

Mahalo all,

I just found a set of eight of these cocktail glasses with fishing net and float pattern and a gold rim. I've seen very similar netting glasses with sytlized fish which were marked for Libbey, so I assume these may be a variant pattern, but they are not marked. If anyone thinks differently or has seen others of this design, let me know! Also, it is not readily apparent in the picture, but they taper from top (smaller) to bottom (wider).

Thanks!
GK

About every 6 months I have a nice thrift store find. This one was $8 dollars for everything. Shows there are still some gems to find out there in the wild even in Ohio. The diver glasses have been on my wish list for a long time. Was shocked to find 11 of them at one time. I love the old-school glassware. There are more then I need, I will offer some up for trade on the marketplace.

I found a large lot of menus. Most weren't Polynesian, but they were vintage and interesting.

Pictured are menus from:

The Tahitian Room at the Sillman Hotel in Spokane, WA. I don't think I've seen that menu before.
The Polynesia
2 Kon Tiki Ports menus from Portland, OR and a souvenir menu from the Chicago location.
Trader Vic's in Portland, OR.
Northwest Orient Airlines Hula-Muu travel brochure from 1961.

After a very long drought, I finally made a nice score today:

  1. A set of 6 Port Light glasses: I think these are the retail version, as there are no Trader Vic's markings on them. $20 for the set!

  2. A George Pisani two-faced "Tiki" decanter made for Arrow Liquors in 1960. This appears on page 155 of Tiki Quest, but after looking at it more closely, it's clearly a highly stylized representation of a court jester, as it's wearing a belled fool's cap. Oh well, it still looks Tiki Moderne enough for my bar.

  3. The smaller version of the Disneyworld Polynesian Village two-faced mug to keep my larger version company.
