I haven't been on TC in a little while, but I wanted to share a recent score I had a few months ago. I just saw Erich's Killer find. This is one of the (many) big reasons why we're here...To see and share scores like this. If I found these two Tikis I think that all of my problems would be solved. :)

Anyway....I bought the smaller version of this cannibal carving By Chavez from the daughter of the (once) maitre'D of Kon Tiki Cleveland.

It's signed on the lower right side of the carving...

And if you look at the Kon Tiki swizzle stick, you'll see what inspired their logo Tiki.

Then the guy shows me the other one. I made him an offer, and brought home the cannibal too. Where he's from, I don't know. Closest I could find style wise this big was the Morro Bay Harbor Hut ones.

Today, I'm a happy man..
