While it's kinda conceivable that tikis from the NYC Trader Vic's went into a local warehouse, instead of being sent back to the Emeryville warehouse, I wasn't aware that an attempt had been made to get another TV open, and that idea holds a lot of water, too. Re: the style -- I do trust your eye for the provenance of tikis, but Trader Vic's has often gone their own way, while the other chains tended to use common resources a bit more. Do you think it's possible that these were ordered out of Asia in the '60s?
