Bigbro,

That's great, not one original item on the matchbook! Except for the lantern which actually matches the swizzle.

Love the transmission tradition.

Love the transmission tradition too! One of the coolest things for an urban archaeologist is to discover the true origin of an image. In this matchbook I knew about the trader Vic's Maori tiki and I was not sure about the Steve Crane tiki but I think the typography for the LUAU logo could be a coincidence...

LUAU Bottom marking.

This is a new mug. Not vintage. Who did this? I know you are out there reading this.
