I was posting some stuff on the Royal Tahitian a while back and Sven (while overseas) pointed out that the carver of the tiki used at The Reef also did one of the Tikis for the Royal Tahitian.

I didn't realize that Charley Rosenkrantz also did the Tikis at The Reef Restaurant. I've got a matchbook from that place lying around somewhere. Here is the matchbook from The Reef in Long Beach with the Tiki carved by Charley Rosenkrantz. Old Chucky certainly had a unique style. DC
