Nice finds S D.
My wife found this Enchanted T R pin at our local ˝Goodwill.I like how Donald hides behind the " Duck" shield (sorry bout the blurriness). Oh those clever folks at Disney!
All I found were two of these non- tiki mug from the Jekyll and Hyde club in NYC. I have their "Warrior" (green) mug. The J and K club consisted of two "spooky horror"themed restaurants that may have gone out of business last month.
Cheers

Stumbled on this neat lookin' Ku in a little junk shop not too far from the homestead
earlier this afternoon...
He's about 17" tall and DENSE... Whatever wood they made him out of is mighty sturdy.
My guess is Hawaiian tourist trade- it's definitely not from the Philippines (at least there's no tell-tale "made in the Philippines" sticker)
His backside says "Made By L. Young." Doesn't sound terribly Hawaiian, either... who knows.
He looks old to me- there are little telltale cracks around the edges here and there. The guy we bought it from says he came from an estate sale of an older couple.
Regardless, he stuck out like a sore thumb when we were carrying him home 2 miles through the Chicago snow!

Nice find Ragbag. Are you sure it's wood? I've seen a lot of really dense resin, but I'm not sure they can be made THAT large.
Looks like some good stuff in the background of your pics, too!

While driving down Scott just past Mort's liquor on Shelter Island I noticed a sign for a consignment shop. The sign actually said consignment/tavern. Intrigued, we entered the shop and sure enough there was plenty of stuff for sale and there was a very nice bar. Just beer and wine however. No tiki (I thought) although there was some nautical acroutements. As we were leaving my wife spotted a 3 and a half foot tall palm wood Ku. The barkeep quoted a price and I hesitated while trying to figure out if he would fit into the back of my car. The barkeep noticed my hesitation and quickly dropped the price by 25 bucks so this tiki was destined for a ride north. The shopkeeper/barkeep knew nothing about this tiki. He said they've had him for some time and they wanted it gone They have been using the top of the tikis head as a tray for their darts. Darthead is pretty scruffy and needs a good cleaning and refinishing.
Apparently Darthead has been kept outside-parts of him are very sun bleached. I'll be posting additional pix once I clean him up and situated in the Happy Talk lounge.
Cheers

Some great finds going on. Great score Nui'umi'umi. Once you restore that Tiki it should look pretty good  .

Hey SilverLine-
This one's definitely wood, and I think it's gotta be an older piece. The wood is similar to the type
we've found countless other small tourist trade Tikis made out of, I've just never stumbled on one this big.
We were quite psyched to find him!
Not as big as Darthead, though- nice find! Not too many tikis like that left lurking in
the wild here in the Midwest, but one can always hope...
