It's Monkeypod wood. Probably done in Hawaii. It's a nice one. A bit larger than the normal tourist pieces you see.

Thanks.... Is monkey pod wood heavy.... Cause it weighs a freakin ton!...

Nui- score

TJ- Up and down pictures do not post correctly onto Tiki

Only sideways pictures.
If you want to post the up-and-down pictures,
You have to rotate them on your phone or computer before you post them and save.
Then post

TikiJimmy, That is one nicely carved tiki
I’m a avid gardener and fern collector. The first of your pix shows a huge blue tiki mug next to your tiki. Please tell me where you got it-I gotta have one but I will use it as a planter.Please shoot me a PM.
Mahalo

I found these recently and thought they were cool. I don't know anything about them and would appreciate any information anyone has on them. Thanks.

Removed the Beeswax candle and set the tiki next to a Trader Vic’s lamp (right) that came from the Emeryville location about 8 years ago.

I don’t that think that the steel ring was original to this piece. There is a 3/4 “x 5” hole drilled into the top of this lamp along with 4 screw holes although the ring was held in place with 2 screws.

Went out hunting on a whim this afternoon and returned with this almost complete set (7/8) of Libbey Zombie glasses.

While visiting Des Moines last week, I scoured three different flea markets and came home with this Orchids of Hawaii bamboo mug. Only found a couple other things which I left behind (the Coco Joe tiki I came across was far too expensive). Since I wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped, I decided to treat myself to this “Fu Manchu” mug from Fong’s Pizza.

I have three Trader Vic's lamps like this one and they all have the same ring.
plus a plastic tube thing, I added the shade to that plastic tube.

Mahalo Skip, I was hoping that you would chime in with some info on this version of the T. V. lamp

Yeah I think yours was just a smaller carving than they wanted for that lamp.

One of mine has a weird spring loaded candle thing.
And two are electric.

Worst sound ever, slurp of an empty tiki mug through my straw!!!

H10: thanks, darling....

This was an internet “find;” I’d been watching Thriftbooks for months. Not a lot of tiki in the wilds of Colorado. Congrats on your big Hawaiian haul.

Cheers Hamo
I found my copy in a Portland bookstore
Enjoy

Nice finds Jon. Is there any story to dat "Kilroy was here” mug?
My wife found these very dirty earrings at an otherwise neat and clean thrift.I found the shirts at another thrift. Pic shows front half of both shirts.Unfortunately they are both older (size medium) and don’t come close to fitting me. I liked em so much that I could not pass them up. I’ll give them to my grandson who’s in training to be a Tikiphile. Not quite tiki, the box of thirty post card, matchbook,etc.reproductions have some awesome graphic art on them.I intend to frame them in two groups.
Cheers

Nui- great colors on those shirts

The Trader Vics Hawaii Peeping Tom mug:
(Ooga info)

This handled mug is mainly white, with a brown fence all around,
and a man peering over the fence on each side.
The design is reminiscent of the "Kilroy was here" graffiti mark from WWII.
The mug is crudely fashioned, as is common with the Polynesian Pottery mugs made for Trader Vic's.
Marked "Peeping Tom" in vertical letters down one side,
directly opposite of the mug's handle. Bottom has "P. P. Trader Vic's Hawaii" etched into it.

Been looking for this one for a long time
To add to my Trader Vics Hawaii collection

Cheers

Speaking of Trader Vic’s Hawaii I found this today

Jim, that’s a very cool variation of the much sought after “Rounder “ shelf. I like it.
Congrats!

Finding Tiki artifacts in NYC is about as hard as finding teeth on a hen, but I did find a pretty cool Quon-Quon mug today for $3!
As an aside, does anyone else have tips on hunting in NYC?

Now I'm missing a mug that I never wanted

Saw the hat in the middle of a table of random ceramics and said to myself "What are the chances that's a DTBC mug?" Lifted it-Saw the imprint on the base, knew it was OG- and got that finder's tremble. Looked for seller and heard a voice from behind me say "Are you a fan of DTBC?" Crap, she knew what it was... I nod and ask "how much?" she says "$10. It came from a lady who worked at the one in marina Del ray. I'm selling her stuff and this was all I found from there" Happily paid asking price and walked away as though my feet were floating on air

I have found some cool and surprising stuff over the past 6 months while antiquing but yesterday's may the best yet. Well, next to the stash of vintage tiki mugs I found in a tiny town's antique store in November. This glass float is around 12" and weighs about 7 lbs.

I found this oddity of a lamp at a flea market yesterday and cannot figure out if it wants to be tiki or not. It definitely looks pre-70's based on the cord and has seen better days. If anyone can identify this I would greatly appreciate it. Perhaps place this next to a Christmas Story leg lamp?
