Tiki Pipe Tray (Pics)

[smokeytay33]

I recently bought this Tiki pipe tray/stand off of eBay. I think I got a great deal since I LOVE Tiki's and anything tropical. The snippet on the bottom says it is made of lava from Hawaii. I think this item was created back in the 80's, but perhaps more research needs to be done on my part. Anyways, here it is! It is definitely one of the more unique pieces in my collection thus far.

Impressive, but they do look a bit ominous.

Very interesting, be careful thought the tikis seem like they will gobble up your pipes if you leave them there too long! :rofl:

They do look ominous. Plus there is the whole curse of the jealous goddess, Pele thing. I once knew a pharmacist who was certain he was cursed for bringing back a small volcanic rock from the islands. Of course rational people don't believe in such crockery! ....uh... Right? Well, it looks so cool I'd risk it.

Wow, that is very cool! I love Tiki stuff. CocoJoes items are apparently pretty collectible. Check out this 20 page thread at Tiki Central:

That is awesome. I also like tiki related items as well.

I second that awesome!! It brings back memories of the Brady Bunch special where they got hold of the evil tiki in Hawaii. Congrats, that's a great find.
