I know that it's late in the game for Savage Renewal, but I just came across this one and I gotta post it!

Some fellow dealers at The Red Rooster Antique Mall here in Vegas just brought this in to their space, and it is so awesome! They said that they got it from an older couple that said they moved to San Diego from Hawaii about 20 years ago, and then to Vegas a few years later. The wife supposedly picked this up, but she didn't know where. Could have been Hawaii; could have been San Diego. How one forgets things like that, I'll never know. Anyway, this guy is professionally built out of fiberglass, so it must have been made for somewhere public like a hotel, bar, or restaurant.

Here's the expired listing on eBay that is full of pictures:

It didn't sell online, so they brought it into the shop a few days ago.
I haven't slept since.

So, my fellow Urban Archaeologists, can you figure out where this guy is from?

I'm DYIN' to know!!!!

Mahaloz!
