Here's a few other recent finds...
A Hawaiian Inn knife licker mug (we've been wanting one of those for awhile, especially since we're planning on going there this year), Kahiki S&P shakers, a couple of single Bali Hai and Trader Vic's S&P shakers (if anybody has singles to sell... we gotta finish our pairs!), an awesome Tonga Room slim bucket mug my dad found for us for Christmas, and an OMC Chinese mug stamped with the San Francisco Holiday Inn Chinatown on the bottom (if anyone wants to trade for the version with glasses, I'm game.)
Some other excellent stuff as well (if I do say so), such as...
This common 2-faced clear tiki goblet, but with markings from the long-running (and now closed) Mai Khi Lounge in Milwaukee, WI... I'd never seen anything with markings from there for sale before. This was snagged in a thrift shop not far from where it once stood...
We also found this excellent United Airlines Menehune decanter with all his accoutrements...
A set of these cool Ron Rico Rum glasses marked copyright 1952 for $3 each...
This funky 10" record featuring Trader Vic talking about going on safari with Bing Crosby and their wives, with a generic song about hunting by the Bingster himself on the B side (I can't figure what promotion this was used for, but there's no label markings on it, so it was definitely some kinda goofy promotional item. I do enjoy how they talk casually about shooting tigers and such... a lot's changed since then, like... I dunno... the tiger population...)
An Exotica gem I've been looking for in the wild for years (I am a total die-hard nerd for Exotica LPs... this elusive Chaino LP had been on the top of my list for a long, long while now...)
And... does anybody know anything about this mug?? Super cool design and it comes with a wooden stand similar to what Kwak Belgian beer is served in. There's a good amount of crazing, so I'm sure its old, but the only marking just says "Japan." A scan of Ooga Mooga shows nothing with the usual suspects (OMC, Orchids)... ideas??
More soon!

The yellow-ish mug with the wooden stand is about 9" tall without the stand.
It's definitely not straight-up Tiki in design, in the traditional sense, but as
a big fan of Belgian and German beers (which use a similar goblet with wooden
stand set-up in certain situations) I was glad to find the cross-over, no matter
how distant!
Hopefully somebody out there has seen one... all of my research has come to a dead
end.

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.

there were several jekyl & hyde clubs as well as a jack the ripper & werewolf themed bar all owned by the same company. they are supposed to be opening a new one in times square.

Some are finds, some are presents.
and then of course, some are so wrong they're right.

I think the mug might be made by Rossini. The face appears to be the same as the oil lamp on page 159 of Tiki Quest. I have several of the hibachis on the same page.
Nice find on the Chaino record!
Erik
P.S. The shape of the mug is kinda like a Coachman's Quaff (yard of ale glass). Your's could be a foot of ale.

Mr. NoNaMe-
THANK YOU!
That link is perfect, and is EXACTLY the thread I was hoping to find on here when I picked up this guy.
But, my issue was... what do you search for? "Yard O' Tiki" ? "Beer Bong Tiki" ? "Kwak Tiki" ?? I was at a loss. But apparently, any of those would've worked... whoops!
This is GREAT!
The ultimate "duh" moment in all this, of course, coming from the fact that we --HAVE-- the hibachi with similar facial features, I just didn't put it together 'til now. Too many rum cobwebs.
THAT'S what Tiki Central is for!
Thanks much!
--Pete

does anyone know the origin of dark wood,(mahogany maybe) NEW ZEALAND , Maori carvings, Many with abalone eyes that Steve Crane used in most of his restaurants?
example;this one is 28" X 108"
or this;
OR the 6 FT. hard wood Maori Tiki like the one on page 98 of 'BOT'
Was this stuff done by generic "On staff type" carvers, or "imported in bulk type carvings", or was there a 'NAME' involved?
