I have to do more research to see if they actually were a "Tiki Bar".

It may also be used when receiving a long distance call. Try it, you'll like it!made in Hawaii with lava by the Islands' one and only CocoJoe's of Hawaii." That tag is all messed up. Why would you time a long distance call that you received? You're not paying for it Buzzy Out!

BPB Bay Park Buzzy Tiki Socialite West Bay Park, San Diego, CA Joined: Apr 07, 2006 Posts: 3066	BPB Bay Park Buzzy Posted posted on Sun, Mar 21, 2010 2:38 PM I bought a huge lot of matches at the swap meet today. They belonged to a travelling salesman guy who did a whole lot of travelling(...and a whole lot of smoking while he was travelling.) He died, and his daughter sold them to me for a good price because she wanted a matchbook enthusiast such as myself to enjoy her dad's collection. this was the batch. the pile is about 4' x 4' and is knee high When I found them, I did the swipe test. That's where I run my hand through it quickly, and if I spot a tiki matchbook by just glancing, I look to buy the whole lot for a good price, figuring there will be more than that one in the batch. When I did the test, A Bali Hai thet I've never seen and a Rayal Tahitian came up right away. I asked the price, bargained a bit, and then walked away with the lot. 3+ hours of initial sorting found these: About 70 with tikis, or from tiki bars: Some nudes and pinups A couple hundred various hawaiian About 300 more interesting ones worth a second glance: That's it this week. Buzzy Out!

I think he looks a bit Easter Islandy? and a side on view... He's kinda got a wood grain effect to him in a mustardy yellow...there are no makers marks on the bottom... He cost me £5 or should I say $7.52 May the Tiki be with you...:drink:
