I've collected quite a bit of stuff and, for the Tiki bar, I've mostly tried to find stuff centered in the Pacific theater. The theme is my imaginary version of a 1940s/50s era tiki/polynesian bar. Here's a cool original water color I bought on Ebay today that has a great Polynesian vibe to it. It was painted by a (popular at the time) war time cartoonist, Paule Loring in 1944. I combined the listing pics so you can see the details (The complete painting is the bordered with rope): Anyone else have this interest or other cool WW II/Polynesian related stuff?
