Thank goodness they ended up in the right hands though, David. Your 8 years of hard work certainly paid off. Thankfully, these wonderful items aren't lost to history.

Just found these Trade Winds Moai mugs at a thrift store.
This little collection is from the last 4-6 weeks.
I know it's the wrong thread, but if anybody has any info on this guy, it would be greatly appreciated.
Just for kicks...gold sheen obsidian tiki of South American origin

Tiki David, you have the score of the year with that haul!
I was fortunate enough to see some original stuff from the Portland Kon Tiki at Hale Pele. They have the Three Cannibals, which are stunning.

Nice recent finds, especially Tiki David's scores. Here my humble finds from this weekend garage sales.
I found the larger war club that appears to be vintage tourist but I am not sure. It has a nice patina to it. The smaller tourist club was purchased for me by my niece when she went to New Zealand last year.
I found this war club on the internet claiming it was vintage. It appears to be an exact match of mine.
From the same seller, I purchased these two war clubs:
I believe them to be of PNG origins. A check on the internet found this war club which is very similar to one of mine. The site had this to say about that war club:
A Mt. Hagen presentation axe (di kurugu). Of the type used for trade, bride price, and public ceremony, with plaited rattan and yellow orchid binding, and removable greenstone blade. Though found in the Mt.Hagen area, such axes are typically made by the people of the Jimi Valley, Papua New Guinea. This example measures 24"H x 21.50"W, is in very fine condition aside from minor nicks and stains to the original stone blade, and comes from a European private collection, circa 1960's.
Here's a picture of their war club.
Last purchase from that seller. A Moai with a body. Couldn't find anything on this on the internet.
Has some nice carving on the backside. Made of stone and is very heavy.

Call me curious, who was the seller? That looks like a bad bad pull of an original carving from Rapa Nui that a friend has...
