Hey Brandomoai. Welcome aboard. Now you need to find a stereo copy of Exotica. Keep looking - they're out there. I don't have a spare one but I have an extra copy of Quiet Village that you're welcome to, as well as a few other Martin Denny albums and maybe an Arthur Lyman or two (I buy the same albums over and over because I keep forgetting which ones I have). And give me a shout if you ever have any mugs you'd like to trade. Also, if you're ever in a thrift store and some dude's taking pictures of coconut monkeys or matadors, that'd be me.

Very Nice Find Gator Rob!

What is the shape on the stem? Is it a Jockey? It's a little hard to tell.

Yes, sorry, it's a jockey. Here's a closeup.

Cool glass.
Thanks for the bit of history as well.

Not satisfied with the last couple of weeks tiki find attempts post Trader Vic's warehouse sale led me back to an earlier craiglist posting. Yesterday's finds were pretty cool...dig?

Louis B Ceramics Bamboo mugs from Gilligan's Island and Fisherman's Wharf, Kewalo Basin Honolulu Hawaii.

Match book covers from The Aloha Room Portland Oregon, The Polynesian Ocean Shores Washington, Trader Vic's Honolulu Hawaii and The Tikis Montery California.

Cool ceramic tourist bank from Hawaii, not marked other than the "Made in Taiwan" stamp on the rubbber stopper.

McGuires Tiki Room ashtray. Anyone ever heard of this place?

Kahiki Supper Club salt and peppers with Kahiki matches.

China Clipper brochure for the Flying Clipper Ships from San Francisco to Hawaii to Midway to Wake Islands to Guam to Manila to China. Very detailed and colorful!

Coco Joe's Wahine and Tiki wall plaque with label.

Although I don't really collect "new tiki" could I really leave these sitting there? Marked "Bones Productions '96" Al Evans, whoever that guy is?

Finally, the real reason why I went back was for this beauty...from the Hawaii Kai.

Tom still has some pretty cool stuff left. He still has quite a few mugs, alot of Coco Joes, books, match books, menus and a slough of carved wooden tikis and hawaiiana. Worth checking out if you can.

Psycho Tiki D (I know I am and if you don't know it yet, you will soon)!

I have to admit, it seems like everyone else's finds have been much more impressive than mine, but I might as well keep posting! I popped into Value Village (34th Ave) yesterday and found:

Coconut mug from the Ali'i Kai Catamaran in Waikiki (apparently the world's largest Polynesian catamaran) - $3.99
Ceramic Tequila Blanco Jorongo bottle (not really Tiki? Looks good in my bar, anyway) - $7.99
-Thanks, Sweet Daddy Tiki. I'd be interested in any of those. The record guy at the flea market on 50 St. north of Yellowhead had Quiet Village in stereo but I opted for Exotica. As for mugs, I don't have enough yet, just the ones I posted and some Tiki Farm mugs I picked up at Mars and Venus on Whyte. I'm a pretty avid thrift shopper, so I'll be keeping my eye out for you. Though, if we're going after the same find, there could be a showdown...

Yes, it could get pretty ugly. I'm not sure this burg is big enough fer the both of us. So keep your head up, it would be unfortunate if something was to fall on you from a height...

Just kidding! (sort of). No, really, just kidding. If you ever do have mugs or other stuff you want to trade, I'd be up for it. Cheers! :drink:

Nice find on the China Clipper brochure, PTD. I love old cutaway diagrams.

-Sweet Daddy T.
Because crap doesn't buy itself.
