Pretty jealous of everybody's haul! Alas, mine are a few scrapings of ephemera. Some given, some in the wild and some, yes, from the internet. Nevertheless, some pretty cool stuff I thought I would share. A cool old die cut menu from Ken Young's Hula Hut in Hollywood. New to me and my guess is from the 40s. A Tiki Ti matchbook was a cool find! Also, a couple 8X10s pics from a Don the Beachcomber luau in Hawaii. An ebay find of a 1978 press archive picture from the Denver Post of the "new" Trader Vic's opening at the Hilton.
My favorite though has to be these great souvenir pictures of a husband and wife tourist couple at a Hawaiian luau. Somebody is not in the Aloha mood!

Found 2 Tepco kneeling hula girl scorpion bowls today. One in tan and one in blue!!
These things weigh over a pound more than my regular Trader Vic white one.

Picked these up from an estate sale here a while ago, stained them last night.
I think they came out fairly decent for a novice.

Just these that I borrowed from House of Ku over in the Concrete Lawn Lawn Tiki Gallery thread.
I didn't think to take any before pics as these were just regular cast concrete.

My tiki find for the week: a super cool, super heavy duty port hole window!
Well, to be quite honest, Trad'r Bill found it, and pointed me in the right direction to go get it!!! Thanks, Trad'r Bill!! 
I have plans for this window...

Not really a "Tiki Find", but a magazine that I found years ago and scanned. Someone, who I do not recall blew up the image and printed it out on thick paper. After many years, I found it rolled up in a tube and finally had it framed.
It's FATE Magazine from 1955, featuring "Hawaii's Living Fire Goddess"
It measures 13" x 19"

R.I.P. Leilani Lanes, Sigh! Maybe you can find the patch on one of the folks in the photos on page 1 here:
