I should have posted this a long time ago.....oh well......

I met this guy, mr. nick? Hall at the first chin tiki show when we were let into the old chin's for the first time.....he's the guy on the left in the photo....which is from 1958.....so he was obviously much older when i met him....seems he and his business partner (on the right) used to carve and sell tikis and other oceanic type stuff back in the fifties..about the same time bob and leroy were settin up shop at oceanic arts.....

their company was called oceanic oddities from La Cauada, california......

Mr. hall signed this photo for me and gave it to me for a souvenier..i was just getting ready to frame it and throw it up on the wall in the tiki room and decided i better scan it and share it with you all....anyone have any more info on these guys and their biz???

i thought sven might find this interesting......
