I am always amazed at the finds people have. So much great stuff. I'm excited if I find an actual Hawaiian shirt or a piece of Monkeypod. I'm not sure what I would do if I ever stumbled across some of these other finds. HAHA!
Great stuff everyone. Now if you would like to send some of that down here toward SC where there seems to be an amazing shortage of ANYTHING, I will happily give it all a great home.

I just wanted to say that although I've only posted once before on this particular thread I do check it often and love seeing everyone's finds.
Sadly, I have never seen any tiki items in the "wild" here in NJ so I don't have anything to post. But maybe I'll do better during this year's yard sale season. You niver know, right?
I've checked garage sales, the Salvation Army, a flea market and some rummage type sales. Nada. Sigh.
Congrats to those of you who score these amazing finds. I am most jealous!!

Lori, although I am still a newbie at all of this, it took me almost a year of looking before I found my first "wild" tiki. After that, it was like the flood gates opened. I started finding more stuff. Just keep looking, they are out there.

Where did you get your finds TLB. Very nice. Tiki gods are smiling at us, Here's what I got at the swap meet this morning. The patina on these carvings make me believe these are vintage. The vendor said he bought these pieces from an Antique store from his hometown in Bakersfield. He did not have any idea who carved them.
This one measures 36"X18", the table is 42".
These Two measures 32" in height.

Nice finds TV. I like those matched Maori clubs. You know it's bad luck to keep two Maori war clubs under one roof-let your older brother help you out and store one for you. Btw, your pieces are a pretty good size-wonder if they're from some forgotten tiki establishment up in Kern county?

H10, you stole the words right outta my mouf. You had a "good weekend". Jon, I like that hibiscus/KU tidbit tray. Does it have a makers mark?
Cheers,
David

Wow. I'd almost wager a guess that those are old OA pieces. The war clubs and mask. They certainly fit the bill.

I wondered who thought, "let's make a ceramic human head. The hair will go up and people will stick a straw in it to drink fruity rum drinks!"
That being said, great find hang10tiki. I want one too!

hang10tiki, you and the rest of the guys hunt so well. It's rare for us to find anything. I keep Dan happy by just making him stuff. Wendy

David- it's a treasure craft Hawaii ashtray
Krik- and it's a heavy mug too, you can still get them from Tiki Farm
Wendy- Dan-O is one lucky guy to be able to "work for tiki"
The shell bowl above is Frankoma T-9, wife spotted that one.

This week was decent....
first I scored these 2 AWESOME MUGS!!!!!
Just kidding.... Just kidding...
Okay how about These 2 mugs instead.....
some other stuff...
I scored about 17 days worth of the "Polynesian". They are the daily publication for the Matson line ship the SS Mariposa. 1958....Very interesting stuff.
But the most fun this week was a scrapbook I bought at the swapmeet from 1967. An old lady from the Paramount Club took a 15 day, 5 Island, $495 tour thru the hawaiian islands.
Now the good news is somebodys Grandma saved everything.... There's postcards, news articles, restaurant placemats, brochures, menus, maps, a coco joes flyer, stuff from molokai, and a lot of stuff from the Coco Palms in Kauai.
Bad news is grandma used some good ol'fashion 1967 glue made from animal parts and a now extinct plant from the rainforest. This stuff ain't coming off.
I think im just gonna have the page holes fixed and put the album back together....either way its super fun to look thru.
I scored some good nautical stuff too this week. Some marked glass floats and some cork floats...
