Here's the story so far, I live in the university town of Oxford and whilst visiting our new Tiki Bar - Kukui http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=30316&forum=2&17 I met an interesting American student. Howard [from the Miskatonic University in Arkham, MA] is studying in Oxford for a year and spotted me in all my usual tiki attire [shirt, bad hat and 70's slacks] and we got to talking about the whole tiki scene. Long story short, I swapped a couple of my mugs for a couple of old tiki items he'd got from his grandad. These items are in very poor condition, all that remains of the menu is the cover with drinks on the other side, is is very water damaged and seems burnt on one edge. The other item is a swizzle stick, in a semi transparent green plastic. Both are from Devil Reef, Innsmouth MA. Howard said that all he knew about them was that his grandfather was in law enforcement [american for police, I think :)] and was involved in a breaking up a gang running a smuggling racketing on the eastern coast. Sounded all a bit far fetched but the items are unusual, can anyone help with more details? There seems to be some mugs used? Do the prices help date the bar? I've put bigger images online as links so you can read the drinks on the menu inner.
