"A deluxe 70-unit oceanfront motel located on the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Facilities include: Kitchen - Fireplace - TV - Phone - Heated indoor pool - Restaurant - Lanai Room - 150-capacity convention hall. RECREATEION: 180 Hole golf course (Home of Pat Boone Celebrity Golf Classic) - deep-sea fishing - clam-digging - beach combing - dining - dancing - RELAXATION. Rates from $15 - $35" Together they show an interesting mutation of the Tiki sign. I hope I've got them in the right order. Neither card has been used or postmarked. The reverse of each card is almost identical. On the back of both cards is a stylized depiction of the mask on card #1's sign. The second card has an area-code in front of the phone # The second card lists the golf course as the home of the Pat Boone Classic, the first does not. The second card has room rates, the first does not. The style of the first seems (to my eyes) to be early 1960s while the second has more of a late 1960s, early 1970s look. I could be wrong. Both nice signs though. Does anyone out there know more about this old motel/resort? Sabu [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2002-11-07 17:38 ]
