Hi again,
I am still kicking myself about the other stuff! I think that I will for ever. The story is:

Back in the late 60's or early 70's my husbands grandparents bought a house on Long Beach Island, New Jersey which was still furnished. The previous owner, Mike Thomas, was a powerboat racer and was killed in an accident and most of the stuff was left in the house. Mr. Tiki had been chained to a corner in the bar room. You can see the original chain in the photo. We never took it off. The house was then passed on to his parents and them to his sister. It was then during an estate sale that we sold the other stuff. Had we been in our right minds, we would not have. We almost sold Mr. Tiki, but at the last minute, we didnt. He had been chained in the corner till we took him in '94.
