Went to the Long Beach Swapmeet again this morning and did pretty well. Again, I only managed to see about half the swapmeet before I had to head home. Here's what I found:

:down: Some postcards from Clifton's Pacific Seas in Los Angeles:

:down: More Los Angeles landmarks. Steve Crane's Luau and the Kowloon. For those of you not in the know, the Kowloon has a beautiful drink menu filled with color artwork of tiki drinks.

:down: Two views of the Warehouse in Marina Del Rey. (One I've shown before in this thread. Here's the new one.

:down: The Coco Palms in Kauai

:down: A matchbook from Trader Nick's in Pismo Beach, CA

:down: One of my favorite finds of the day; Two cocktail napkins from Tony's on the Redondo Beach pier.

:down: The Erawan Garden Hotel in Indian Wells, CA. More Chinese than Tiki, although it has nice A-frame beams and tiki torches.

:down: The Castaway in Burbank, CA and the Ports O'Call in San Pedro, CA. Both owned by the same company I believe. (Correct, Sven?)

:down: The Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, CA. I like the large tiki-shaped torches.

:down: An artist's rendering of Christian's Hut in Balboa, CA from a Mar 1951 copy of Ford Times magazine.

:down: And even better - a matchbook from Christian's Hut (The 'Original' one in Corona Del Mar). This has the great feature of the pop-out "Goof" head. I've always wanted this matchbook, but didn't want to pay the $40 that it usually gets on eBay. $5 was much better.

I guess that's it until next month.
