Anybody know of a manufacturer?

Joined: Oct 13, 2006 Posts: 1857	PTD Psycho Tiki D Posted posted on Sun, Oct 18, 2009 1:41 PM Thanks for the kudo's on the Beachcomber find...I had seen those glasses in Alameda without the box and could not pinpoint an orgin. Hopefully I will see them again next time I go. A few items from today... A ceramic Ku-Kaili-Moku Zenith New York Hanaki T.M. A46 Japan. Always wondered if these were aquarium decorations until today when the Ku had a price sticker on the back from Capital Aquarium. Kuo Wah Cafe Menu. The Nipa Hut Menu Redwood City California. Another Trader Vic's ashtray. Not sure what these were used to serve, but they are marked "Trader Vics Made In USA" on the bottom. Later! PTD

T Tiki-Kate Member Yucaipa, CA Joined: Sep 21, 2003 Posts: 1700	T Tiki-Kate Posted posted on Sun, Oct 18, 2009 7:10 PM I found a few cool things today. I picked up some fish floats and a couple of sets of rum bottles with matching skull shots. Skulls aren't my thing, but I figured I could trade them for something at some point. I finally found a chunky swag lamp that I could afford. I also found a great Islander matchbook. Ron-tiki gave me a copy of Tiki Style and the Sheraton swizzle. Thanks again, Ron. That was really nice of you. I was shopping with a friend today, and on the way back to the car we found a box filled with at least 1000 match covers. The seller was asking a really low price for the whole box, so we split the cost and spent a fun-filled afternoon sorting through them all. Luckily, we didn't have to wrestle over any of them. There were at least two of almost everything we both wanted. :D Even though I ended up with several dozen cool tiki match covers, I think the one that I was the most excited about finding was the illusive Scam 9000.

PTD - there was a Nipa Hut at the Reef Inn in Reno Nevada in the 1960s. Your menu looks to be earlier than that. I wonder if the two locations were connected somehow.
C caffeinated Member yesterday Joined: Sep 26, 2005 Posts: 86	C caffeinated Posted posted on Sun, Oct 18, 2009 8:50 PM I found a smaller one of those skull jugs today. I also have one of the large ones and a set of the shots like yours. Here are my recent finds: Kahiki coconut sugar jar, couple mugs and the skull jug with a Montreal souvenir sticker. Parrots, Rasta-tiki, & a lighter. Teapots. One is likely more of a totem pole design and is missing its top. The shell says Florida on the lid.

Thanks a lot for the info. It seemed familiar, but I admit to not being convinced enough to do a search. The eyes are perhaps what confused me a bit to the style.

A pair of outrigger canoes make good bathtub toys Nudie Hawaiian cards for the gents A fun porch light bulb cover that looks like a tiki bar hanging lamp Cool stationary that’s relevant to me, when I was in the 6th grade at Aina Haina Elementary School each kid was given a case of these and told to sell them to their friends for school fund, they were soon replaced by overpriced candy bars. Tiki pipe holder with Kristen pipe, what else would you keep in it? And some pineapple flavored tobacco to make the illusion complete.
