Boris, maybe one of the moderators should lock this this thread and someone can create a Vintage Tiki Finds thread (Pre-1980) and a Tiki Revival Finds thread ?? Also isn't this thread so long now that it consistently creates web page errors ??

I was shocked to see you posting in Tiki Finds John-O but I didn't think for a second that you actually posted a picture of a "Find". 
Despite what I don't love about how this thread is occasionally added to I don't think that's a reason to shut it down. The Thread Must Go On!
As for the errors, yes that should be addressed. Thanks!

I'm a Tiki Finds lurker !! I'm all about Mid-Mod minimalism so I really don't collect anything but I do like to look at the vintage eye candy.

All this fighting and disagreement is making this place like Facebook!

and thanks BUZZY for posting the piece you BOUGHT at Tiki Oasis on page 265.
solved my problem, I couldn't make out the writing on the bottom of this ash tray. Then I saw your post and there it was. Maker of the piece: A Hip Rascal. So thanks for posting that FIND you bought at Oasis.

I only post on this thread the used and vintage stuff I acquire at tiki vending events like Oasis and Don's, not any of the new or artist's stuff I get. I also don't post any of the crap that I buy on ebay. That's just my personal filter, and I don't mind when others post any old or new find they buy here. I wish people didn't post ebay "finds", but I don't get all riled up over it when they do. I just figure they live in a low tipsy environment, but still want to participate in any way they can.
I posted that Rascal in particular because it was the only Coral colored one that either Freddie or I had ever seen. Figured it was rare if neither of us had known of it and it should be documented somewhere for posterity. I like that often times the only info on a piece that I can find anywhere, is here on this thread. I probably learned more about tiki from this thread over the years than any other single source anywhere. Glad that some of my posts can help others learn about their stuff.
Hang 10: That ashtray is in Tiki Quest. HIP stands for Hawaiian Island Products. HIP Rascals were the line of those funny faced guys I posted one of on page 265. Finding the info you needed from my post brings a happy tear of joy to my eye! I'll post the tag for it when i get home later.
Buzzy Out!

Buzzy, I'm guilty of posting some eBay finds but as you said it's actually a relatively low tipsy area that I live in, despite being a location that many would consider to be rich in Tiki.
Actual "Tiki Finds" are few and far between, although some good scores do arise occasionally.

This is a terrific thread. I check it out at the end of each day. I wish we were still hunting but now we mostly buy new things from artists at events. I'm so impressed that everyone can still find so much. Wendy

I found this little guy at an estate sale today at the home of a former Disney Illustrator. He's Balsa wood with sparkly eyes and pearl shoved into his mouth.
I didn't really want it but after waiting to get in for 45 minutes I had to get something and there was nothing all that cool left. I was hoping for some great stuff.

A bit of tapa cloth from Goodwill. It's matted with a piece of protective plastic over the top if you're wondering about the reflection.

last two weeks worth of stuff:
Maori bolo tie:
SS Lurine tray:
Gene's Hawaiian Village photo holder:
back label
Photo inside
Hawaii postcards, mostly Kona Inn and Kauai Surf Hotel:
Kauai surf hotel guest room one in front has the tiki lamp on the table
Another photo cover and a Polynesian Islands cruise book
Same lot as the Gene's photo, but the people do not look the same:
Set of 6 linen Fijian tapa pattern place mats
Coral Lei boat piece:
Coral lei was made by Coco Joe's.
Guam Tiki and tagged Ki'i Hoohehe'e
OMC surfer girl mug, unmarked. Couldn't find it on Ooga Mooga without a restaurant mark, and one of 9 Tiki farm shot mugs:
Rainbow of Tiki Farm shot mugs. Most have the Hecho en Mexico stickers:
Disney Enchanted Tiki room shot mug trio:
19 Mexican/Tequila shot glasses, one full mini bottle of Absolute, three rocks, two artificial pin on flowers, two golf balls that look like baseballs, one golf ball that looks like a tennis ball, an Against Me! patch, and a glass Nativity set were all the things that I had to buy in one lot to get all the Tiki Farm shot mugs with it all.
At first I pulled out all the Tiki Farm shots and asked "how much for these?" He waved at the tailgate of his truck and said he was selling it "all" for $20. I did some quick resale math in my head and declared it all "Sold!"
Some fired but unglazed mugs:
One of the bucket's was glazed, but not glaze fired.
Crying Moai candle and a piece of a tiki trophy or something:
Nautical themed stuff. Shell lamp and a ship shell night light:
Linen Fiji banner:
Buzzy Out!
