Found these in the wild here in Austin this weekend (where it is rare to find anything at all) Don't know if the sticks are original they say Japan on the back would love to know what they say on the front side.

mike and marie what a great find.

Mockingbird in 20 years of collecting I've never seen those before. Wonderful.

hang10tiki you bring tikis back that might have bit the dust. Just think how many times those carvings have been re-created after being eaten by the giant bees. That's a terrific Witco find and it's perfect in your room.

This is one of the best threads on TC. Wendy

p.s. I realise this post may be counter to the intent of this particular thread,
but most would probably agree there is some cool stuff among this collection,
disregarding the African junk.

Also, with postage costs as they are, I'd imagine only serious collectors would
be interested, and perhaps only here in Australia.

If anyone were interested though, I'd be willing to follow up - gratis.
..I also have a large quantity of packing peanuts I'd like to shift - also free. :D

I love my Ports of Pleasure mug, it always draws my eye in the midst of all the others on the shelf. I have yet to make it back to actually have the drink that is served in it however.

Seemed like a slow winter for me out there in the wild. I found an avg of 2 things per week over the last 2 months. Going 4 days a week, that means I struck out half the time.

That is some strange mustard. It's in powder form and says to mix with beer or white wine!

From a vintage surfboard collector...

In the mid-60's surfing was booming, being driven mostly by the gidget movies.

Many new surfboard companies wanted to get a piece of the action, so they created "pop outs". Basically the boards were "popped out" of a mold and fiber glassed. Very little craftsmanship, more production oriented to meet the demands. These boards usually had a wooden strip down the middle on the top of the board to make them resemble a standard board of the day. Many were sold at Sears and other large retailers.

Here is one that i thought you might like to see....
(footnote: the tiki brand also made belly boards)

I added this to The Islander thread, but I'm putting it in Tiki Finds to show that there is still incredible finds out there. I paid $65.80 for a Vicious Virgin Bowl at an antique shop in Reno on Sunday. It said, "nudie dish" on the tag.

Yesterday I visited the Margaret Mead Hall of Pacific Peoples in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. She curated and set up the displays, and it was filled with truly amazing exhibits. Without going into details which you can look up elsewhere on the web and on the museum's web site, let's just say it was an amazing display. I can't even compare it to the Bishop Museum's collection - the two are entirely different in a number of ways.

One surprise immediate reaction I had in the gallery --- it is suprising how different the authentic artifacts are from Polynesian pop. And the craftsmanship was amazing.

I took some photos of some fun "tiki finds" at the museum shops. It seems like everyone who visits the exhibit gets their picture taken with the big moai in the room, and it's therefore become quite well known. It seems that's why the gift shop has moai souvenirs.
