nice score- please tell me you also bought the tretchikoff print. I see it in the background..... one of his balinese woman portraits I think. Also, love the maori ashtray - i believe it's from the 40's. I bought one similiar on ebay 12 years ago. I think they were for the tourist trade.

Well, it looks to me like a mug collector liquidated his collection.

Wendy, that looks like the estate sale of my dreams! An authentic home of a WWII veteran who carried his experiences home with mementos and souvenirs, and kept it alive with its decor choices, up into this century. The art on the walls looks like it had some Exotica amongst it, too!

You lucky lucky lucky blighter! A find of that many mugs needs it's own name e.g.

The largest gold nugget found was the Welcome Stranger, found at Moliagul, Victoria, Australia in 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates. It weighed gross, over 2,520 troy ounces (78 kg) and returned over 2,284 troy ounces (71.0 kg) net.[2] It eclipsed the Welcome Nugget found eleven years earlier in Ballarat.[3] **Wikipedia**

Perhaps the Welcome Strangers of the Mug-erload?

Congratulations on that huge haul. Now it's time to start tiki arraigning!

Thank you to everyone who congratulated us.
Sven I agree it was a wonderful place to be. We waited 2 hours just to get in the door.

Happy Hunting, Wendy

along with a few other mugs, HIP & Coco Joe pieces I picked up these stilt steps today at the flea market. No idea of their origin or age, but the 80+ year old lady that sold them to me said she must have had them in her garage for 40 years... (who knows...) I thought they were pretty cool.

The fertility goddess mug unfortunately looks like it has some paint splatter on it, but she still has the original tag and price tag inside from lion country safari ($1.25)

Mahalo everyone for the congrats...

Sven wins the prize...it was a collector selling off his collection.

Every once in awhile we meet someone who is really cool…

I first saw the collection back in November on craigslist. I contacted the seller and arranged to visit. When I got there he was quite impressed that I would drive the two hours from Vallejo to see his collection. The guy turned out to be a prolific collector of all kinds of different things, tiki mugs being just one of his interests. He thought tiki mugs were cool and he enjoyed the hunt but he wasn’t really that into “tiki” and he felt that it was time he let the collection go.

We spent quite a lot of time talking about collecting, his collection and how he got into mugs. I was having a great time just chatting. Eventually we got down to negotiations. He wanted to sell the collection intact and was asking a price that was realistic but on the high end of realistic…For me it was quite a lot of money… I had many of the mugs already and was hoping I could talk him into selling just a few…but he didn’t want to part out the collection…eventually he lowered his price significantly but it was still more than I could bring myself to do…so we parted on great terms, no mugs trading hands …but I had met a really great guy, enjoyed looking at a very nice collection and the 4 hour round trip into the gold country was beautiful…

Fast forward to two weeks ago…I get an email with a new offer, one I just could not refuse. This time I come home with over 70 mugs…He told me that had thought it over during the holidays and had decided that he really wanted me to have the collection.

So that’s the story…

I’ve seen so many amazing scores on this site… it was my turn be lucky…the next time it will be one of you…and along the way you’ll make a lot of friends…keep up the search!

A few matchbooks from a collectors show in Glendale, CA. Mostly toys but I did pick up an old 60s skateboard and these matchbooks.

Some fairly common ones which I didn't have and a few odd ones like the Hawaiian Gardens and The Tropics in Denver. The only one I can't seem to find anything about is one from a place called the Temple Bar or Bombo in Oakland. It has a weird shaking glass on it with the words "Bombo" (?) and "carefree." Maybe the name of the house drink and it's desired effect?

Holy Hannibal! Wow, that's superb. Never, ever, seen those with the Green Glaze... I have two of the white ones. They are absolutely made by Polynesian Pottery about 1968, just about the time Adele Davis sold PP to the Daga boys. These VIP bowls were few in number and in my mind are the apex of the locally produced pottery.

I dunno. I guess there are various criteria that can be used to assess the value of an artifact. One would be rarity. I think that's where this one scores most. Then there is cultural context: Another score here, though it is kinda late in the game. Next comes what I would call " level of artistry within the genre"...and that's were this one looses me.

I found a barely used Tiki Hibachi on Fiday. It was probably used just once and then put away. No grill lifter, table pad or skewers. I went back the next day to search for the missing pieces. Does anyone know what the skewers look like?

I found one a few weeks ago - basically unused, it had the pad and the tongs, but I did not even know there were skewers to start with... I'd like to see that as well!

Tattoo, that Templebar matchbook is AWESOME! Oakland is home for me, and I'm heading to that area tonight, I'm going to check out what's there now (UPDATE: It's a CVS Phamacy, what a shame). I MUST find one of those matchbooks! With Oakland being so ripe with Tiki history, it's strange that a bar of the era is completely off the radar! I certainly want to learn more!

Some fairly common ones which I didn't have and a few odd ones like the Hawaiian Gardens and The Tropics in Denver. The only one I can't seem to find anything about is one from a place called the Temple Bar or Bombo in Oakland. It has a weird shaking glass on it with the words "Bombo" (?) and "carefree." Maybe the name of the house drink and it's desired effect?

Notice how the 'TE' in Templebar is emphasized? I think Templebar is the Bombo's phone number prefix - as in TEmplebar 9805 - not the name of the bar/restaurant.

LOL Tiki,

That's what I thought too! As posted here in the Templebar thread. Need to change the title of that thread to Bombo.

I have had this pineapple sitting on my shelf for a lot longer than I've been collecting tiki mugs. When I bought it I considered it a vase. There are no marks. Could it be a mug?

Whether it was intended to be a mug or vase is hard to say. What I find interesting about this piece is that it looks like an actual pineapple was used to create the mold.

Found this pair of Harrington Polynesian Palace handled mugs. If someone needs one for their collection, pm me and maybe we can trade.

Ripper,

Nice glasses, I have yet to find those. I did, however, hit the matchbook lottery this weekend. I had never seen or heard of several of these places before.

Picked up this Orchids of Hawaii Blue Boy Surfer this weekend. It differs from a similar mug on Ooga-Mooga in that it is marked R 80, the arms are one up and one down, and the surfboard points to the boy's left. The bottom is marked :oRCHIDS OF HAWAII R 80 JAPAN". Is anyone familiar with this mug?

Nice score on those matchbooks DC - I see some interesting ones in there.

I got this great Marquesan club and some other items from a gentleman who sailed there in 1968. He had originally priced the items rather high, but then dropped them drastically... I think I got a good deal.

These two appear to be home crafts. They're just over 3 inches tall.

This wood carved guy looks familiar. He's about 24 inches tall and seems to have gotten a peg-leg somewhere along the way.
