Trader Vic's grog glass and mystery gal head

We found a stash of Trader Vic's glasses today. These we found in the BOT page 93. Does anyone know more about them. Are they easy to find? I swear I have seen them in a bigger better picture somewhere... We bought all these glasses, including the red and green Vic's glasses on the left.

And then there's this lady. This bust looks very familiar. We didn't buy her. There is a stamp on the base that wasn't readable. Does anyone recognize her? The head was about 8-10 inches tall.

Those are really rare! AND they are a good mold, the masks are much better pronounced than the one I have in my book. Congrats!

Swanky,
The Trader Vic's bartenders guide (RE) calls these glasses:

The Marine Tumbler
The drinks served in them
Starboard Light: green tumbler
Port Light: red tumbler

The Voodoo Tumbler
The drinks served in it
Babalu
Voodoo Grog
(want the recipes?, let me know)

The head looks like Marwahl to me. They made a variety of etnic head pieces, men and women. I have Two. Search Ebay. I see 'em in antique stores for like $100.00.

Looks like Sally Field with a suntan from the Gidget days.

Oops,
I spelled marwal wrong, it's marwal. Check Ebay.

Ah, yes. Definitely Marwal, from the lightly pink lips to the glass eyes. Now where can I put it to have the maximum creepy effect...

And yes, I would like the recipes. That TV bartender's guide looks like a gem.

You should be very, very stoked.

Those glasses are pretty uncommon.

the tiki mana eminating from those scores is strong -soak it in, enjoy it.

Has anybody seen my meds?

Who would like to see Tiki Farm sell a Voodoo Grog glass reproduction? I would buy one for sure!

Definitely. I've been wanting one of these for ages, but am always reluctant to pay $150 for one when it pops up on Ebay.

Just one of the Voodoo Grogs went for $338.00 on ebay. I'd be very stoked.

Great finds!!!

Somebody has a lot of money out there!

At the time, the glasses were bought for $9 each. The one Voodoo Grog that was sold on Ebay went for $575 I think.

The first time I was in Trader Vic's Atlanta, they were serving out of those Port and Starboard Light glasses and offered to sell them to me for $4 each. I didn't buy any... That was 2001 or so.
