Mahalo for the extra info....the patent website that I found only had 1/2 of the drawing and no text. The one thing that struck me about the bar first and foremost (aside from its WEIGHT) is how COMFORTABLE it is when you belly up to it. The arms rest perfectly in the smooth wavy notches in the bar top. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Or is ship hatch furniture generally unique as a rule? If it is from the tiki heyday, I'm almost wondering if it was kept inside for many years...the rope hasn't rotted away at all, and I doubt the stools have been reupholstered. The material is holding on strong and not falling apart. They're still mostly fluffy and comfy, but are pretty dirty. Could it be a more recent piece? I still haven't been able to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
