C Chippieleigh Member Australia (W.A. ) Joined: Oct 30, 2008 Posts: 6	C Chippieleigh Posted posted on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 10:42 PM My grandmother gave me this so long ago I can't remember, But he's a little Tiki matchbox holder. He was given to her in 1967 & he came from New Zealand there was also another little guy with him but he got lost somewhere along the line. I have fond memories of those two little Tiki always sitting on my grandmothers display ever since I can remember, I was always drawn to them. and now to find out there at least 40 years old is realy cool. I also have two muggs I found three years ago they have a made in the Philipines sticker on the base but I cant make out the hand written number on it, any ideas about these anyone ? My local pet shop has some Moai about 100 -150 milimeters tall for fish tanks. will check the price soon & mabey get some. cheers all, Chippieleigh.

S SilverLine Member Kansas City Joined: Mar 02, 2004 Posts: 637	S SilverLine Posted posted on Fri, Oct 31, 2008 8:16 PM Here are a few of my recent finds in the Springfield Missouri area. It's kind of surprising how much stuff finds it's way into the Ozarks. This guy makes two that I now have of the set of four, unknown, unmarked, tiki coffee cups. OMC palm tree bowl in fantastic condition! The coolest find, I think, was this teapot marked "Hawaii Kai." I have the other coffee set pieces, but still missing the mugs!

BB Bongo Bungalow Member Indiana Joined: Aug 20, 2007 Posts: 1295	BB Bongo Bungalow Posted posted on Tue, Nov 4, 2008 11:56 AM Here's a few recent finds: This one, my first from the Mai Kai, found in an Indiana goodwill store. I'm so proud! Next, found in my mailbox, the mug I ordered from Suffering Bastard in Maine in support of the MS Society. Then, this pineapple pitcher. It's eight inches high and has "Va. 1969" scratched on the bottom. This music maker plays "Tiny Bubbles" and has an engraved plate on the other side that says, "S.E.I.U. 16th Convention Hawaii April 1976". Up in Traverse City, Michigan the other week and found this one from the Kahiki in Columbus. Spent $10 for it gladly, 'cause it's my first from that famous spot.

O OceaOtica Grand Member (1 year) Joined: Sep 29, 2003 Posts: 1098	O OceaOtica Posted posted on Thu, Nov 6, 2008 4:55 PM Nice score. These were fairly common, being produced for the tourist trade, and came in a box with cover art and a little brochure. The one i have, which looks different form yours only because the tapa piece for the sail is cut from a different section of the print, was used for a photo shoot in Beachbum Berry's Sippin Safari. When i get a chance, i will get the info on the box for you, the box which is currently residing in my storage unit. [ Edited by: OceaOtica 2008-11-06 16:57 ]

A Westwood shot glass & a couple from Mandalay Bay: A nice Coco Joe's hula girl: A great bucket mug from the Hana Hou Room & really nice green glazed Trader Dick's style mug. It is engraved with what appears to be L&C 79 on the bottom & is a bit smaller than the Trader Dick's mug. Any thoughts? Homemade? I also scored a mint Aku Aku mug with OMC label intact on the bottom, as well as, a Jimmy C. Tiki Farm 2003 Hard Rock Vegas mug. Whilst at SEMA, I bought this kool bronzed shrunken head from Jimmy Flintstone: My final Vegas purchase & my first tiki of any substantial size: God Bless the guys in baggage handling at Jet Blue! They couldn't have been too happy with that 68 pound Tiki-filled duffel bag, but he made it back to Boston safe & sound! Thanks for the great Tiki, Lee! I'll be back for more next year! Upon my arrival home, there were a coupla things waiting for me at my local hot spot! I'm off to the basement to start removing that dropped ceiling!

The flat bottom and smaller size are the clues. If a mold was made of an existing "peanut" mug, the product of that mold will be smaller than the original due to the shrinkage of the slip clay as it dries. Really nice glaze, though. That's a keeper!

DW Deuces Wild Member Joined: Nov 11, 2008 Posts: 30	DW Deuces Wild Posted posted on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 7:33 PM Well, I think this was a killer find. Always wanted a copy of "Oceanic Art" by Anthony JP Meyer. Searched EBAY but they always seemed to finish at crazy money & then the shipping! I'm talking the single copy BTW. So- I searched Amazon & found one in "acceptable" condition for cheap! I'm talking $24.75 plus 3.50 shipping. I buy & then wait. And I wait. After about 6 weeks, I get an Email from the seller. He tells me the copy he had after further investigation- was a pretty shabby copy w/ torn pages & a damaged spine. He said he didn't feel right selling me this one so he was sending me another- in a slipcover w/ 2 volumes in like new condition for same price. About a week later it shows up. Are you kidding me? It's like brand new! Book is pristine & looks like it's never even been looked at. Pretty good score if you ask me. And..... for under 30 bucks!!!!
