Buzzy,

Looks like it might possibly be a Mexican piece as well. Really hard to tell.

Here is the logo tiki from the old Don The Beachcomber restaurants:

As you can see, it doesn't look much like a standard tiki either, although it may have been inspired by Tongan designs(?) The Don the Beachcomber tiki is from the 1950s, but I'm not sure it dates back to the 40s. Yours looks vaguely like it, so I can't rule out completely that yours might be a tiki of some sort as well.
