We may have some TC members that frequented the Dallas Vic's. Anyone? The seller has an extensive and very good eBay record, I'd say it's up and up. Then, again, I'm still trying to work these X-Ray glasses I bought back in '73. Anyone have any info.? Original paint? It does look nice! Pat answer that it looks like an OA piece. OA numbered their Tiki models if I recall, someone must have old catalogues and such. Bigbro and some of the TC carvers will have info. Where's 8ftTiki? They can have a pair now! It's very close to their Tiki in look...and size. Me, I don't care for the paint, at all. I don't like color for nothing. I'd like it w/o, though. Tough to get to TX and pick it up. A real obstacle, that. Not sure how the auction will do, that's a large opening bid (with a reserve)... it may be better suited for a private/direct sale. Plus, I am saving my tens and twenties for that Ren Clark severed head mug on eBay right now. If someone likes(tolerate or strip it off eventually) the paint and can get it from and/or out of Texas... one would have a nice hunka hunka Tiki there. midnite
