I was hoping I could get my dad over to pick them up, but they should stay local. If I were to guess, I would have to say they came from the old Chicago Trader Vic's. Take some pictures and post them in their new home when you have a chance. Glad you got 'em. PTD They won't be in a permanent spot for a while, but I'll post a couple pictures when I at least get them home. & I'll also send some close-ups of the carving to my contact at Vic's who knows their "stuff" very well to see what they think on the possibility of them coming from there. With so many former tiki establishments in Chicago, there are a lot of possibilities..... PTD - I owe you a MaiTai - if you're going to be at any of the '09 Tiki events, we'll have to settle-up :D
