Tiki Finds

Paipo...don't know if you will be able to read from the pictures. Here is the story...

"The Story of Ikky Woo Woo

Ikky Woo Woo was a Jivaro Indian who lost his head.

The Jivaro (pronounced hi varo) live deep in the steaming jungles of Ecuador and Peru, along the course of the mighty, treacherous Amazon River.
These-the largest and most powerful South American Indians-strike terror into the hearts of other tribes, because of their ability to shrink heads to 1/5th of their natural size.

Jivaros are not cannibals, and do not kill wantonly, but as a part of their religion. A head hunting expedition is often caused by the death of the oldest male in the family. This must be avenged by the stamping out of evil spirits causing the death...and these spirits reside in someone's head. the bruja (medicine man) and sons of the departed drink natema, a brew of bitter roots. This strong narcotic produces visions, which tell them where the evil spirits are. The braves paint their bodies in grotesque patterns, braid feathers into their long hair, and set forth.

While a head can be preserved and shrunken in one week, the ritual lasts up to a year. An Indian working on the tsantsa (head) is painted red, lives on a special diet, eats no flesh, and shuns women. He dances the hanlsamata (Spirit Killing Dance), so the tsantsa will not cause death or accident to him or his clan.

At year's end, the entire tribe has a victory celebration. The Indian beeseches the spirits of his ancestors to transmigrate the dead soul into an animal, a plant, a stone or another human body, and so give it a home where it will not be free to plague him. The tsantsa, itself, has no further value, and is tossed aside.

Ikky Woo Woo, one of the most perfect Tsantsas ever to be brought out of the jungle, was one of two authentic shrunken heads in the Robert Ripley Collection exhibited at the 1932 Chicago World's Fair. Ikky is insured for $5,000.00.

Make a wish-put a coin in Ikky's box. The box is opened regularly and the contents distributed to local charities. Help someone in need and make your own wish come true".

great 1970's shirt i found at the goodwill today.
sometimes you get lucky!!

Wow... That shirt is awesome!! It would look great in my closet!!
Nice Find!

It's been a slow autumn for me, especially with Tikiville zealously snapping up everything in sight :wink:
I did make a couple of good finds:

Orchids R-13A coconut mug, Tiki Farm Squll mug from an unexpected place, and an unmarked skull mug, probably designed as Halloween merchandise rather than anything Tiki-related.

A set of four Beauce Pottery moai mugs, classic green glaze. Here's a close up of the bottom (same on all four):

Can anyone give me an estimate on the actual age of these? Is 1952 a production year, copyright year, model number...? There's not a lot of info on the web on this company - at least, not in English.

looks like you got nuthin to cry about ! that is an awsome lot of stuff to find....that only means I'm not trying hard enough lol
congrats to you !
REALLY people you may think Edmonton is a hotbed of HAWAII but it's that we are obsessed!

It helps that there's only, like, 3 of us scouring the city's thrift stores and antique malls for this stuff. I'm amazed by some of the items that pop up here! And you've made some good finds yourself lately, Tikiville - I was just giving you a hard time since you're the slightly newer newbie on TC :wink:

yes of coarse lol ... .
to confirm I did find another TIKI yesterday ...( about 10" kinda small I know ) 2 tone wood carving looks great in the pile ! lol
I'll post a photo tomorrow...

Today's find has eluded me for some time and I never thought I would find one in the wild.

Stopped by a store I hadn't been for awhile and found this...

Marked "Exclusively for Skipper Kent's San Francisco CA-Kona Hawaii".

There wasn't a price on it, but luckily, the lady who owned the mug was in the store.

Not a bad find for $6.00.

Gotta love it!

What I've been able to find out is that the "cb" trademark (for "Ceramique Beauce" - below the word "Beauce") was introduced in 1965. 1952 is likely a product number.

DOES ,anyone know how many versions of the MAI KAI rum barrel there have been?

I am guessing these are mugs? Shipwrecked boat on an island with another island with coconut trees and another island in the distance. Quite possibly the ugliest mugs I have ever seen. From the Hyatt Regency in Kauai. Made by "Porcelain by Design" New Orleans LA.

Oh yeah, and another small Coco Joes jeweled tiki. I must have about at least 50 of the bucket and 30 of the hula girl mugs now! Still, I will buy them when they are in the $1.00-$2.00 range!

Hawaiian tourist souvenior of a model "Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe". Label reads: "Carved out of Koa Wood, the same wood that the King's warriors used when they went into the forest to cut down the large Koa trees, and by burning and scraping shaped their canoes into this same design".
I like the design on the box.

It's a mass produced tea light holder, looks pretty cool though?

Too cool. From the picture it almost looked like some kind of wall hanging.

Thanks,

Buzzy Out!

A different sort of find...

My dad discovered this in a box while cleaning out his garage. He didn't know where it came from so he sent me these photos. When I was in elementary school I went on a class field-trip to "Marine World, Africa USA" up in Central California. I purchased this as a souvenir at one of the shops; it's my very first tiki mug, it cost $1.39.

Find the drink you wish to mix among those listed (80 in all) on the front panel, note the number on the left - say Planter's Punch, #63 - turn the thumb wheel until "63" appears in the small window on the left and the instructions for mixing your drink appear in the larger window on the right. It's metal with a baked enamel finish. I'm guessing it's from the '50s or '60s.

I also found a 3 record album of Disney's Fantasia soundtrack from 1957, distributed by Vista records. Incorporated into the album is a 24 page "Program" from the film with lots of very nice illustrations.

Found these on Saturday, :D :D can't wait to put them in those new Monkeyman frames I purchased finally..

That's a great idea for a smart-phone/blackberry/pocket-pc application; a portable Grog Log/Intoxica.

I scored a few things this early morn and also wanted to share a signed record I found a couple weeks ago:

Hi

I'm new to Tiki, so please forgive any dumb remarks.

Found these two pieces in Switzerland (mugs, vases...?). They're 7 1/4 and 6 3/4 inches tall. Noone round here recognises them as European.

Can anyone tell me where they came from or who made them?

Thanks

Those mugs most likely came from the Mövenpick restaurant chain in Switzerland.

Here are a few of today's finds.

It's actually a nice light blue, not marked on it any where but it holds a whopping 32 oz. Just put in up on OM..

And this nice OMC with it's label still on the bottom. It actually looked like some one had a drink in it and never cleaned in out. It has some pinkish gunk in the bottom. :lol:
It also has some really nice hand painting touches over the other colors on top of the glaze.

Well the Gods have been good to me the last couple of weeks. Here's what I have found in the wilds of Michigan. First up a "Green girl" print in great shape.

tikipedia,

The logo was entirely covered with paint. It can be removed, but I will probably just leave it the way I found it. I have a few more of the same mug, so it is fine the way I found it. Just can't figure out why someone would go to the trouble of painting over a logo? Was it used by another restuarant and disguised or did the person that originally owned it not want any of their friends or family to know where it came from?

Scored on some free tikis today I was staging a house in South Seattle and these were left in the garden . I informed the real estate agent that it was my duty to rescue them before they rotted.
three Witco tikis from Lelani Lanes. unfortunately painted and made into bowling trophies in the late 80's. They have been sitting in the wet dirt for a while cause the bottoms are all ready mushy. I also got an Easter Island kava kava carving. YEA I love the free score!!!

My old neighbor used to work for the wholesaler for Witco out of Los Angeles. He said the he would carry a blow-torch and rags with him when he went on the road with his sales samples. If any of the pieces split (frequent occurance) or were chipped or scratched he would just hit the surface with the torch and char the freshly exposed wood and then burnish it with a rag, and hit that with wax afterward. you might be able to take care of the paint AND weathering all at once. But please do this (or don't) at your own risk.
