Old Trader Vic's bartending books, enthusiastically endorsed the liquor (must have been more popular in the 40's or 50's), but the stuff smells kinda odd and perfumey. Any thoughts as to what that drink might have been??

Since you mentioned Vic's Southern Comfort endorsement, you've probably already looked at his recipes in the TV Bartender's Guide. But in case you haven't, it looks to me that two drinks may be candidates. I haven't tried them myself and I would bet the names won't ring any bells as they probably would have been renamed by any self respecting Tiki establishment.

Frozen Southern Comfort
juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 teaspoon bar sugar
2 oz Southern Comfort
1 dash maraschino liqueur
Blend with 1/2 scoop shaved ice.

Southern Comfort Sparkle
2 oz Southern Comfort
4 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz lime or lemon juice
ginger ale
Mix the SC and juices in a chimney glass.
Add shaved ice. Fill glass with ginger ale.
