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.
