Nothing amazing but these were all a total of $5.95 so why not buy them.

My mom found this little pink guy at a shop in Sarasota. Does anyone know if he's anything special or just some cheapy tiki? He looks like either a toothpick holder or a really tiny shot glass. His face looks just like the faces on my Trader Vic's salt/pepper shakers, standing next to him.

A PNG carving:
And two books:
The second book is by a US photographer, who accompanied a group of Australian "kiaps" (Patrol Officers) in 1969 on a first-contact patrol to pay a visit to a troublesome tribe that been raiding and killing people for food. Some of the photos are startling:

I thought I found another Trader Vic's Pirate Head mug. Nope, it is from Oscar's.
Does anyone know anything about Oscar's?

Here are few things I found recently:
I raided an 80-year-old woman's liquor cabinet at an estate/moving sale. Judging by the tax stamps etc. I put the Bicardi at between 1982-1985. Was Bicardi ever good? I haven't tried it but it smells fine. I've been wanting these Trader Vic's bottles.
A booze/lei from a different estate sale. Spirits of Hawaii Hawaiian Mai-Tai Cocktail in two types of bottles. Also found an unopened mini of Nassau Royale with almost no fluid left but I don't remember where I put it.
A Silvertone(Sears/Harmony) Uke w/ plastic fret board. Fixed a crack in the body with a glue made of unflavored gelatin. Works great with a nice set of strings.
I dig this 50th State Plate.
Unmarked Tiki Mug. Modern and pretty ugly but I still like it. Anyone seen it before?

While cruising with gf in Miata, I got a hunch
On where to find a Pearl Of Wisdom, and headhunter bunch.
"I AM NOT HAPPY!!!" gf said,
As she balanced the painting on her head,
So I made amends by taking her out to Sunday Brunch.
