Okay, here is a few things I picked up last weekend.

An old Postcard from the Arizona Trader Vic's. Looks to be early-mid 1970's. Cool outside shot which shows the nice shape of the A-Frame. (There is one of these on Ebay right now with a low buy it now!!)

The other item is a postcard size menu from a Restaurant in Birch Bay, Washington called The Palms Supper Club. I actually haven't heard of this place before and was stoked to find out about it and that it was so close to our border here.
It list's some food along with some wine and yes, a few tropical drinks. A couple drinks are the "Exotica","Diamond Head","Jungle Flower" and the "Tiki". Cool little menu that also states on the back: "Enjoy Dining and Dancing to the Music of the "Beachcombers" The Swingingest Five Alive"!!! I would say it dates from the very early 1950's.

The next picture is of a old nautical Port Lamp that I was lucky to get. You can tell from the Vic's Rum bottle how big it actually is. It has no glass in it but I am okay with that as I will do a cool display in it!

The next picture is of a few more nautical items I picked up. Two glass floats, an old ships lamp, pair of port hole rims (perfect for my bar!) and an old brass propeller.

Happy Hunting all!!! TabooDan
