I was in Trader Vic's London last night and sadly only had my iPhone rather than a proper camera, but I took a photo of the Cast Iron "tile" that they have in alternate pattern with the green tiles above.

When I took a tour of the old Trader Vic's warehouse in Emeryville, I was shown some cast iron tiles that were made by one of Vic's brothers. That brother owned an iron foundry. I believe the tile was marked (something like) Bergeron Iron Works Richmond Cal. I'm going off a memory from about 15 years ago!
That said, any iron tile in a Trader Vics may have been made by the brother! Look on the edges or back side next time someone sees one..I am curious!
