Killer! Thanks, Sven. He has been painted brown, and I'm thinking about stripping the paint and staining/sealing him. Any suggestions??

It has been awhile. Here are some of the highlights...
Double Coconut mug.
Pu-Pu card from the Aku-Aku in Vegas and a postcard from the Tropics in Modesto.
Matchbooks from various Tiki establishments.
Black three Moai bowl from the Aku-Aku in Vegas.
Vintage large three Hula Girl bowl from Trader Vic's.
Two Tonga Punch Tiki mugs from Trader Vic's Hawaii. Since I had four, I sold two on Ebay recently.
Second smaller Treasure Craft Tiki on the right.
Trader Sam's and Frankies mugs from my recent travels.
Hobbist Moai mug marked Rainbow, Hawaii on the bottom.
Vintage Trader Vic's Nautilus Shell mug.
Ceramic Tiki oil lamps, wonder what shades actually came with these?
Really weird colored smaller Tiki mug.
Smaller version on the right of the one on the left!

Thanks guys!
In the past year I have had ambivalent feelings about posting anything. Seems like there are the few that are trying to "own" TC and along with what seems like so many others, it has left a bad juju keeping me from wanting to participate.
So many people on other social media boards make fun of this board, which really used to be fun and informative. As you can see from my posts (many) most have been documentation of the things I have found, asking questions or information about places I have learned about. Unforunately I have not found a better alternative site to share on, so if anyone knows of another one kindly steer me there.
So I am sticking my toe in the water again. I have learned so much here and I am sure there is so much more to garner in the future. Time and time again I have to remind myself that much like high school there are bullies here you have to either ignore or face head on. But it does get tiresome.
Again, thanks for looking and the positive comments. It does make the hours and money spent worth that much more.

Great finds psycho. I've been keeping an eye out for some of those for a long time. Especially the nautilus mug. I've seen tons of others that are identical, but have legs.

Duane I 100% agree with your TC observation and appreciate you stating the obvious. You know that thred..where are the original TCers today? Well most are tired of the postings of many ruined by the long winded diatribes of a few so why not post elsewhere.
Its great to see you sharing your finds on here however...even if we are in real life friends you find better stuff then most--ya bastard

A cool Tiki mug albeit with a seemingly Native American twist on it.
New to me.
