I usually don't find much outside Pittsburgh (I think there were more high paying steel jobs in Pittsburgh that enabled mid-century bosses to go to Hawaii, just a theory.) Very glad I stopped! and I left a few things behind. |

Some dude who usually deals Native American stuff had these in his antique mall booth yesterday, unpriced. I had my friend contact him and we were able to make an out-back-in-the-parking-lot-deal for them: 19" Fijian club with stand: and a pair of tiki bob looking guys as well And the make me happy for a long time score is this big old Hawaiian King's bowl:

I say any Martin Denny album is a good album! I stopped at this LAX airliner expo on my way to the Tiki Market Place last weekend after receiving a tip from A-Frame (Mr. Long Beach). Very cool airline memorabilia show, picked up some Tiki swizzles (pick a color, any color!) Some vintage travel bags Luggage stickers And a nice Maori travel book full of Tiki photos. Then on to the Tiki Market Place - 3d Anniversary Attendance Record Event Matchbooks And some Bamboo Ben paper odds and ends. All in all, a fun weekend. DC |

I have the 2 tiki hibachi that have been posted here before... But today I stumbled upon a big terracotta hibachi grill like I've never seen before.... Lady said she had it over 30 years. She said that was the way it was painted when she got it. She didn't wanna sell it but I ended up buying it. Its so ugly and so cool all at same time. Its not handmade.... the grill looks like it been replaced. Has a terracotta bowl with holes on the inside for the fire. The wire for the earrings is thrashed and the nose ring is missing.... Here's how it compares with the regular hibachi I haven't seen one in the 20 years I've been collecting this tiki junk. I'm happy to give it a new home.. |

Buzzy, I have a small, framed piece of tapa cloth from the Marquesas that looks like it was drawn with a Sharpie.

From this week: Pair of Maori Patu I've been binging on $1 used CDs for a little over a year now. This week I found a licensing promo copy of a Les Baxter sampler compilation. Contact info on it is for Thomas Baxter: Nicely carved 13" wood Moai. I saw this early in the day, but not early enough. Some guy bought it, and then had it in his booth for resale, where I happened upon it, and paid a little markup. Still a good deal, I think, at $20 One step short for the best deal on this next one too... I saw it in a seller's booth only after the 6th time I passed it this morning. he had just put it out before my last lap. I got excited because he was a junk dealer, not a collectables seller, so I knew it'd be cheap. As I stepped towards it to get it, I saw an arm go down and grab it mere milliseconds before I could. When I looked at the guy holding it, I recognized him as the antique store back alley deal guy that I bought the club and King's bowl from two weeks ago. I told him after he paid for it to come meet me in the next booth down, and I wink-winked at him to let him know I wanted it. We walked down a few yards where he sold it to me. He paid $10, sold it to me for $20.... Once again, a good deal, I think, but it could have been cheaper if I was faster! 29" Tahitian Marquesan Adze/ceremonial decorative tiki club: Buzzy out!

Been a MIIIGHTY long time since I've posted any finds on here, so I guess it's a good a time as any! Some acquisitions from this past week and a half. Nothing huge, but I'm definitely satisfied as I haven't gone hunting in a few years due to other personal projects and life in general. Also if anyone wants to know, that dress is from Sourpuss clothing. My girlfriend loves that brand and that pattern is fantastic. |

Found this guy at the Goodwill today and was wondering if any one had any idea who the maker was. Pretty sure it's contemporary, but good finds are pretty thin on the ground here in Portland, and I could use a little tiki with my coffee so... |

Ok, anyone know anything about this mug?? We know who it was created for, because it's marked plainly on the back. What I've NEVER seen is another "Fong" mug with this top-hat for the top!! This really adds to the mugs appeal, and I'm wondering if this is a true "Wow Rare" moment - or something else...........????? -Nate |

"Nice find Nate. Any markings on the bottom." This is actually a friend of mine's - I'll check with him, but from what I can recall, there are no marking on the bottom since it's all pretty much right there on the back for all to see......I'll post later. -Nate |

Not a new find, I've had this for quite a while. Been using it to store the remotes for the TV/Blueray/stereo. My wife lovingly refers to it as "The Vagina Bowl". I thought it might have been a ceramic planter, but this morning I happened across this webpage that shows a conch shell bowl. http://www.stevedolinsky.com/tiki-time-chicago Seeing as how it resembles my conch shell "planter", I went searching TC to see what I could find. Only thing I found was one owned by hang10tiki that looks to be exact....."Trader Vic's conch shell bowl. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=1099&forum=5&vpost=714011&hilite=shell%20bowl No TV markings....Has what looks like to be "SAXON '78" on the bottom. Whatta think?? Trader Vic or no?? howlinowl |

I have a conch bowl similar to yours, howlinowl, but with lid.. ..marked Atlantic (copyright) Mold. Initialed JL on fore foot. http://www.debmark.com/moldsearch.php#start For some reason the correct page doesn't load, but if you open p.s.
