Look at your ku carving and then goto my auction for a vintage pair of tiki bases and you will see they are the same!!!! I never knew where they came from but apparently some one back in the day made a mold of a similiar tiki and cast them in plaster for lamps!! ..Interested in a pair of lamp bases to match your tiki find??

P pappythesailor Tiki Socialite Mass. Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 1564	P pappythesailor Posted posted on 12/08/2005 This is probably a dumb question but: Is this a pu pu platter platter? I mean, it looks like one but where does the hibachi go? You can remove the pineapple and put a hibachi there but then where do I stick the pineapple? I ask you WHERE can I shove the pineapple while I'm having pu pu? Anyway, Mom got it for $6 and I got it free.

CS chisel slinger Member columbus,ohio Joined: Feb 23, 2004 Posts: 263	CS chisel slinger Posted posted on 12/09/2005 the pineapple is meant to have toothpicks placed in the holes, so your guests can pull them out and spear the horse au derves.
HT Hale Tiki Tiki Socialite Pittsburgh Joined: Oct 19, 2004 Posts: 1799	HT Hale Tiki Posted posted on 12/09/2005 Chisel Slinger, MAHALO! I have a pineapple filled with holes, and I've been wondering what they were for. That's been driving me nuts for about a year, and at last the mystery is solved.
B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on 12/09/2005 ACTUALLY it is my belief that the pupus themselves, skewered onto the toothpicks, were then stuck into the holes to present the tidbits, to be picked off and put into the mouth. This came from skewering real pineapples first as part of Luau table presentations, of course. I have a vintage monkeypod Tiki screwed on a leaf shaped platter with toothpick holes in his head, and between his teeth. He looks like an African nail fetish when when made up with pupus.
K Kono Member Orlando Joined: Oct 08, 2003 Posts: 1266	K Kono Posted posted on 12/11/2005 A couple of things I found today: A mug from the Hawaiian Inn. A wooden bowl with tiki. It's a big bowl, about a foot by foot and a half. I'll probably sand it down and refinish it.
TR Tiki Royale Member The Aloha Room in Beautiful Belmont, CA! Joined: Dec 06, 2002 Posts: 891	TR Tiki Royale Posted posted on 12/13/2005 A friend of mine was going through some old boxes containing papers, books and other assorted stuff from his grandfather who used to live in Hawaii. He sent me an amazing piece of tapa cloth thats about 5' square and and old menu from the Kau Kau Korner. In addition, there were these two tasty items... A beautiful pin-up doll with her uke... and this very interesting print of abstract tiki faces. It looks to be silkscreened... Aloha, :tiki: [ Edited by: Tiki Royale 2005-12-12 22:20 ]
T TikiJosh Member Joined: Feb 01, 2005 Posts: 735	T TikiJosh Posted posted on 12/14/2005 I got a Molokai Mule mug the other day for $5. Not exactly a great steal, but I've seen other local dealers selling these for as much as $14. In fact, there's another local shop selling regular old Orchids mugs, nothing special for $20 apiece. Damn! I'd buy 'em too, if they weren't so much.
T tiki410 Member Tonga Isle Joined: Dec 31, 2002 Posts: 156	T tiki410 Posted posted on 12/15/2005 As usual its weird when I collect. Last time I scored some Bob's in the wild then had our baby 2 days later. Anyway, I didn't think there would be much out there in NO as my regular haunts aren't around but I scored these in one day: Two of the mugs are those Johnny Sens which made for some interesting reading for research purposes. Then I scored on this ebay auction for six Bali Hai Bob's for $88 with shipping $100. These are in great condition except that one was broken and reglued. I've promised some of these to individuals here if I came across Bob's for cheap. I have a tendency to do that. Try to spread the tiki wealth. Anyway, when I got them in last night 2 didn't make the journey: I still shouldn't complain some glue and they will be smiling again. It's kinda like how we are down here smiling but broken.

I thought that Maybe Santa had brought you a new baby but I noticed that you are still waiting. Maybe the Rock is a Tiki face in a strange place did you look at it really hard or maybe squint a little? Maybe the rock is really Coal and if you apply pressure it will become a diamond by next year? Tikisgrl

I bought the ones I liked best (for dirt cheap, I might add), scanned them, and put them up on this webpage called Vintage Oceania. Here are smaller versions of 2 of the images on my website. I just love the Moais in the engraving of the "Idol Festival in Easter Island", the artist got their faces completely wrong. In fact, the 3rd one from the right looks like a caricature of a real person! Maybe it was the editor of Harper's Weekly where this illustration appeared back in 1873...:D Image Missing: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6df22b3127cce9601c077dd8300000016102AaNGrRu1cMZ I also dig this engraving of Tahitian maidens reclining on the beach. This came from an 1881 article called "The Last King of Tahiti" that was written by Lady Constance Gordon Cumming, a famous travel writer of the 19th century. She was quite an accomplished artist, but this engraving doesn't appear to have been done by her. Image Missing: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6df22b3127cce9601c07a5cbe00000016102AaNGrRu1cMZ Very interesting stuff. I hope to find more of it in the near future. Happy New Year!

You can get a small fountain pump and the tubing at any Lowes store. Home Depot probably sells the pumps too. I bought a pump for my fountain at Lowes. They usually carry them in the outdoor gardening portion of the store.

At the Value Village in University Place, WA I found one of the pineapple toothpick holders. In relatively good shape. I was so suprised to see one since they were just mentioned within the last month. Super cool. No other good finds in the 6 thrift stores from the Renton area.
