Here is one. I haven't found a spot for the two yet. So I shot them one at a time. they are a little over 5 ft tall. I say they are in mint because they still have the little catalog on back that has a few pics in black & white and in colored. also has a numbered lable on the both. {img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3ce35b3127cce8048c1d4c87d0000004613[/img] i cannot make out what this says {img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3ce35b3127cce8048c1d3494a0000001610[/img] the front of the little catalog the back the back of the other one Well I got these for the price of $90. $45 each not bad. now check out this vintage lamp I got at the swap meet last month. If you have the album of Don Ho and the Alii's you'll see a bunch of these lamps hanging from the bamboo A-frame on the back cover. it's shape of a fish trap. made of thin shells. my narrow room. I don't do much to this place because i'm still renting. I can't stand that dam seeling lamp/fan too! k'den Aloha!

By the way, I will taking my family to Maui next June, do you know of any must see places that I should include in the trip? I'm thinking that any antique, or junk stores may have some yet undiscovered treasure! Cheers, KT

Boobam, how'd ya know? that lamp was actually used in the rooms of the Waikikian home of the Tahitian Lanai. I herd they had a few in the restaurant to. The ships prow is from the 40's. That was NO swap meet find....I wish.

He calls her Polynesian Princess. I think he must cast them, or else has a warehouse full. She looks great with the tiki stuff though. Congrat's on the Witcos. That was a major lucky find. KG

Kreaky Tiki, Sorry braddah, don't know much about da neighbor islands. I've only lived here on Oahu. I know there main tourist spots but no hide away places like our La Mariana and our antique stores. I'm sure you'll have fun though. Enjoy paradise. Aloha Aloha
