Looks like a chick tiki trying to cover her boobs with her hands It's 13inches tall and unsigned Maybe Phillipines older style, or preTonga stlye Hawaiian carved? Me thinks Poly-Asian crap, that one. The mixed blonde/dark hardwood is one sign. Being sold as an "interesting" feature, it's actually a sign of younger, cheaper material, in moi opinion.

I'm sure others have or have seen the candle holder. Did you get this on etsy ?? I saw one there recently and i notice it was sold.

I'd never seen it before and looked interesting enough. But it's nothing too special either. I did seem a little strange that what looks like a corporate give away was that unique. So yes, it being made from some sort of hobbyist type mold would make sense. Also, it has the flat bottom (as opposed to concave or recessed) which seems to be a common aspect of hobbyist mugs.

K Kaiwaza Tiki Socialite Waikiki Beach, Hawaii Joined: Aug 06, 2003 Posts: 563	K Kaiwaza Posted posted on Sat, Oct 19, 2013 9:20 PM Souvenir pennant. Nice neon colors & tiki. LP i got from Ebay recently. Never seen it before. It's an Australian release featuring the Herbie Marks Trio, 1972, photographed at the Hawaiian Eye Restaurant. Unfortunately, the music itself is disappointing, as it does NOT feature the accordionist playing that instrument.Instead, for this LP, he plays the organ. So, it's a very standard issue Hawaiian background LP. I was hoping for a strange LP...:) But it looks cool anyway.

Sweet Daddy Tiki great find on those two. I love thrifting in October because I can always find vintage skull mugs--usually Kahiki or OMC around these parts. Glad to see its a trend in other parts of the world too :) Been finding a lot these days but here are a just a few that are new to me: Desk set Wall plaque (been wanting this for a looong time) Kapu card game with the decks still sealed. Oh and I don't really consider this a true "find" but I did stop in at my fav Long Beach antique store and score 15 copies of this Black Velvet Masterpieces book for only $5.00 each which was pretty rad since the book is filled with tons of Hawaiian and female nude paintings that I have never seen before. Good book--pick it up if you get the chance.
C Cavemoai Tiki Socialite Reno, NV Joined: Dec 29, 2012 Posts: 180	C Cavemoai Posted posted on Thu, Oct 24, 2013 8:12 PM It was a pretty good summer for hunting. A few of the highlights. Some matchbooks from the Pago Pago in Portland A close up of the cannibal/zombie glass At first glance i thought this was a regular run of the mill TV coconut with a weird treasure craft type glaze... I flipped it over to see that it was from Trader Dick's in Reno. I thought I had every piece of barware from Trader Dick's, but I'd never seen a coconut mug!

It was even local to me, and i had arranged a pick up had I been the high bidder (which I was until the last ten seconds)! And yes, the one in the back is also a bumatay. It was made as a ceramic statue. It's pretty tall, about 18 inches
