A few thing found this Summer/Fall:
TreasureCraft ashtray and finally found a black Harveys mug in the wild. The paint is in nice shape too!
The lady I got the mug from had used it to keep her long fireplace matches in. I figured that explained the striker patch glued on the back. Has anyone else has seen this done on a mug before?
Always hoped to find one of these banks.
Some matchbooks
And these two awesome vintage United Airlines wall posters. Now to get them framed.

I posted this in my thread in the 'other crafts' section but thought i'd post it here too. A ships wheel i found in a thrifstore with what looks like an Eastern European diorama in it which i removed and then tikified.

And today i found this. I've wanted a really big PNG mask for a while now but they are always really expensive and/or damaged so i was happy with this find. It wasn't until i got home that i noticed there is a little bit of damage above each eye but it really is hardly noticable. Unless i find something for an absolute bargain, this will probably be the last PNG piece i'll buy, now that i have this bad boy. Approx 27" tall and 20" wide.

Found these at a thrift Saturday afternoon. I was pretty sure the Moai was made by Libbey even before I turned it around and looked at the front. I have several of their snaggletoothed mugs in various colors and Libbey’s glaze’s are distinctive and easy to spot. Haven’t seen the Moai before-I like the clean lines. The bobblehead has “freaky Tiki”inscribed on the base.
Cheers
