If there is a bigger fan of the Kahiki<\/a> than tiki skip, I don’t know them. There are a couple of collectors I see spending money on Ebay, but skip has a huge advantage because he is in Columbus and has had a good relationship with the owners of the Kahiki<\/a> and all those surrounding it since forever. His home is absolutely the bees knees of tiki and mid-century collectables and Kahiki<\/a> stuff beyond everything else. The lamps alone would fill any 5 home tiki bars! So it is perfect and amazing that he got hold of this ultimate Kahiki<\/a> item. There is no better place for it than skip’s home where so many other Kahiki items now are celebrated. Behold!<\/p>\n

\"skip\"<\/p>\n

And skip will have it restored and it’s flame will once again burn for those who love the Kahiki and all that it stood for!<\/p>\n
