Outer edge of tiki - Hot Wheels car - A little off the tiki radar (should be in the 'drinks & food' area, I s'pose; BUT has recipes calling for rum - not many in those days, comparatively) - (from 1939; Wood cover, screened paint on burned-in image)
P PeleeTiki Member Tropicanada Joined: Aug 01, 2007 Posts: 19	P PeleeTiki Posted posted on Tue, Aug 28, 2007 8:23 PM TikiRoyale... Don't know anyone really on the T.C. I haven't been around that long. Always interested in meeting new people and getting/giving new ideas. I cruise the S.A. looking for tiki and now my compulsion is so deep I have begun pointing out Tiki to my wife and children. In movies, magazines, grocery stores ahhhg! My 1st tiki score was a liquidated warehouse of rain forest display props. Palm trees, fake plants, thatch and grass, carved, hand painted parrots, giant fake rocks. More stuff was thrown away than I could take and that's probably a good thing for my marriage. Second score was really this fountain and a couple mugs and small block carvings collected from the thrift. This fountain is really in remarkable shape. Original finish and hardly any chips or gouges. Right now it's in my garage looking not to fierce, which is a good thing or my 3yr old son would probably have acted out a Batman episode on it. BTW does anyone know the best stain color to match up/touch up the original finish??? Looks kinda like a mahogany/ebony color to me.

Should have taken the picture from the other side. There is a red thread "earring" hanging from a nail in his left ear. It's the same thread that you see in the pic. There is metal that is tapped and pinned to his face also. Signature? I ain't signin nothin! [ Edited by: Mr. NoNaMe 2007-09-02 20:34 ]
B BrickHorn Member Texas Joined: Oct 03, 2005 Posts: 178	B BrickHorn Posted posted on Mon, Sep 3, 2007 12:26 PM Psycho, That circle "I" looks like a University of Illinois emblem. I have seen a lot of those brown droopy mugs with college-related labeling. My guess is that these mugs were sold as custom-printed promotional items - the one I have was apparently printed up for an island-themed fraternity party.

Two Trader Dick's Moai. Poor glazing. A cool old Fu Manchu and a Trader Dick's surfer girl.

This design is used by a few promotional imprinting companies for anyone who can afford it. I was looking into making a few, but the lowest quantity is something like 72. I don't know that many people who would want one of those. But here's a link to the site: http://www.promotionalproducts.net/drinkware_tiki.htm
