Though there's nothing Melanesian influenced in here.. it definitely has the pre-tiki influence. The b/w images are two photos I purchased on ebay sometime back. The owner said they from from Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, CA. These images are of the NCO club. The matchbook is something I found later on. This is from Mathers AFB which was located in Rancho Cordova outside of Sacramento. It really makes you wonder how many military bases had this theme/influence in their drinking establishments?
