One thing caught my eye though... On 2010-09-06 15:33, Dustycajun wrote: I also have the postcard from Barney West's Tiki Junction in Sausalito that shows one of the Washington DC Tikis. Definitely those are all Barney West moai, but maybeeee that's not exactly THEE same one in the Sausalito postcard as in the DC location. Take a look... When we teleport Barney out to DC in this pic, it looks like there's a few differences. The DC ones look more smiley, while the Sausalito one looks more frowny. Also different chins, noses, eyes, etc. Don't you think? Anyway, not meant as a wet blanket. Thanks for posting this stuff! -Randy
