Mia, do you have these items for sale? Would you possibly have photos of these items?

I just came across this post and recognized the tiki immediately. My husband used to work as a visual designer (making the physical props) for Quiksilver and had a whole warehouse of tikis that were used in the design and I am 99.999% sure that we have a whole set of cups with that exact same tiki in the garage somewhere* – probably stolen design from the soap mold too. How terrible!

*the props were used for cyclical sales pieces and when the sales were over, the pieces were discarded, which we couldn’t stand, so we have boxes full of “trash” decor items. Most of them are reproductions, but most of the things that he had in his warehouse were from flea markets and such. I guess I should look through them now and see if they can find some loving tiki homes!

Oh man… it all comes full circle back to soap again. That is too much.

This company that sells their candy/soap/candle molds on eBay clearly took this tiki mold directly from the lighter: link
