And a mixed media work (painting & collage) by a Samoan artist, Camillia Afele:
More of her work can be seen here: http://www.camilliaafele.tumblr.com/

A nice fish trap lamp I found at a local antique store.
Bongo Fury informs me that this is likely from the Santa Barbara Don The Beachcomber, which is a cool thing!

Nice! Original lamps are perhaps the most difficult to come by Tiki finds.

Found a cool coconut mug. I know that is redundant since all coconut mugs are cool by definition.
But I have not seen one with the "Hawaii I" marking on it before.
Does anyone know who the maker is? I know I have seen it before on something else.

Not sure of maker, but I think the mark is not an "I" But a connected...
"T
L"

Went to an auction tonight and got these....5 treasure craft and 12 coco joes pieces. Many have the original tags.
These coco joes are the 80's - 2000's era right? (Looking for Buzzy's answer on this)...
Whatever era they are from, I was happy to get the Menehune holding the tiki.....

This find perhaps belongs in Beyond Tiki,
but as it may have a broader appeal I'll add it here.
This painting is an original oil on canvas by a little known (to me at least)
German artist and is signed: Carla Merck - Damsthal.
The man from whom I purchased the painting informed me that he had acquired it
in New Zealand some 30 years ago and that he believed that it was painted in Samoa
by Carla Merck at or around the time that German power ended there in 1914.
He also said that there are paintings of hers in Germany dated around 1916 which
might indicate that she left Samoa for the Fatherland at about that time.
Regardless of the actual provenance I think it will look just fine somewhere in my
bar (still under construction).

Just remember, you're lucky to live in SoCal, while hunting for tiki. Some of us live on the east coast, and never see anything that good.
Love all three pieces, man.
