Erich,
That is cool, never seen anything like that. But what is it? A plate?

Hit a local estate sale this morning that had a full on tiki themed basement with bamboo walls and everything..... cleaned the place out and here is what I scored.....
the 2 large tiki faces are lights- hala kahiki used to have one like the one on the left (also in the book of tiki) - the other maori style one i had never seen till now...
pair of copper oil lamps...
hanging pendant lamp
maracas, spear and glass floats... these are not round but square blocks (hollow inside) - never seen square floats before....
this tall plaster tiki actually has boobs and a tiny vagina......
not bad for a days work.

Dusty...it is a small plate...like the size of a bread plate maybe?
Ive never seen one before either. One of those weird yard sale finds where the people have nothing else hawaiian, tiki, polynesian...but for some reason have that.

They are made from:
...like this piece:
That stuff gets really brittle with age, that why it is rare to find them in such good condition. Great score, Tipsy, makes it all worth it, doesn't it.
I wonder if the sellers had any photos of their rumpus room...

thanks sven- yes, they are plastic , made form vac -forms - these are in great shape, not too brittle because they weren't in a bar atmosphere, exposed to cigarette smoke night after nite that effects plastics. Time also makes plastics brittle with age. These are still somewhat fragile but not as fragile as others I have seen up close like the one that used to be at hala kahiki... that one was practically disintigrating.
here are some pics I lifted from the listing..... shows the basement.

Its been a long while since I've been in this thread, or any others for that matter...I figure most of the stuff that I've found, has long since been posted here in Tiki Finds. But I do not recall seeing this little ceramic glazed necklace find. I found it kind of unique, but have no clue as to who made it. It says it is from Hawaii, on the attached card. It looks vintage, but a bit too clean, IMHO.... Are there any threads on these necklaces from Hawaii made of ceramic and glazed?

Nothing that specific, Tom.
Thanks for those pics of the original basement bar, Tipsy. It always makes me sad to hear another authentic one got dismantled. But hey, good times were had there for sure. That pic with the walker is indeed symbolic, DC.

Tipsy McStagger, I also found two of those square glass hanging floats.  They are about 4feet long. And at first I thought they were new but the netting looked very old.. Great find! Great score!

thanks DC & TP
sven, as far as i know the house is already sold and I'm not sure what the new owners are going to do with it. I spoke with the realtor to let them know that if the owners are going to remodel, i would come dismantle the basement and haul away all the materials. bamboo is at a premium in the midwest and I need some to finish off my own tiki room. It's actually cheaper to buy bamboo from oceanic arts and ship it here than to buy bamboo locally. Plus , with all these new tiki bars springing up (new one to open in milwaukee) as well as new home tiki bars, i'd have no trouble unloading the remainder. Hate to see a cool basement bar dismantled but if i don't salvage the stuff, it's only going to end up in the dumpster - it always does.
