Buzz
You are right
Bad phone photos :)
But you are wrong "good new stuff"
Should say "great new stuff"

Cheers

Dig the cannibal fork...
And that Samoan boat, wow...........

My wife and I are on a cross country road trip and somehow our 1rst thrift store stop was in Alexandria,Va. Here’s what we found;
Four mugs from the Royal Lahaina on Maui and a vintage framed image of a Hawaiian petroglyph. It’s pretty dirty-we’ll see how it cleans up.

David- have fun on your hunting trip

Letter opener

I think it's a spoon

It’s a spoon alright. Not just any spoon however-it’s a spoon for getting the cherries outta the jar and into your Mai Tai. Nice finds Jon

Now you gotta find the other Trader Vic's glass out of Canada, the one from Toronto.
There's also, like Hang10Tiki said, London, England and also one from Vic's in Japan.

That's obviously an older glass than the one I got in March. Here's a pic I found online of the one I have:

Did they make a custom glass for each Trader Vic's location or just these 4? Or did some get them and not others? Just wondering if there's a Seattle or Denver glass out there I need to track down.

A gift
Not a find

My brothers shifter knob
From his old Jeep
Didn't even know he had it

Ok, so what did I just buy? Owners had no idea where previous owner got it or when. No cushions and have not been able to locate any images so I have no idea what it should look like. There was apparently a chair as well at one time, but all they had was the webbing.

Measures 84" x 33" and Height back 30" and seat area 18"

It's Witco and it's extremely rare. You might want to post it up in the Witco thread for posterity; that style of sofa is very hard to come by. If you post it over there, Sven or Kiegs may be able to provide you with a catalog photo. I would say some leopard print cushions would look great though! Congrats on your find.

Hey Jon, Aquarium orn. sounds reasonable. I was thinking bookends if they are heavy or big enough. Firing hole on top-I dunno.

Nice finds, welcome back buzzy.

My bruddah TikiVato bought this guy from a recent trip to New Orleans. I was there in July and they were out of stock. Btw, Tiki Tolteca is in the same building as Jeff Berry’s Latitude 29.
