It's the last one owned by the Bergeron family. My wife's family is from Oakland so we usually make a pilgrimage there whenever we visit the area. On an early visit I noticed a Leeteg painting behind the maitre d's lectern and asked him about it. He was kind enough to take me around the restaurant to see all five in their possession, including one in a private room where a party was going on. My father-in-law, who is 90 years old, grew up with Victor Bergeron ("and a nasty piece of work he was," he recalls) and when my wife and I took my father-in-law and mother-in-law to Forbidden Island in Alameda, they said it looked a lot like the old Hinky Dinks.
