If you look at the second photo you will see the bamboo bridge behind the girl. This bridge was not bamboo for long as it was replaced by a metal railing, Rot I would guess is the reason. I have never seen that close a photo of the first railing till now. The fire fish on top were made of plywood as well at the start. Both of these items most likely were tossed and replaced by the metal ones. I think they are in Vermont now, the metal ones that is. But what about those tiki in these photos? There are three of them I've never seen. And I've seen most of the Kahiki stuff over the years. (they are not in my videos Of the Kahiki) I would say these walked out of the Kahiki early in their Kahiki life. The kahiki opened in 1961 late in the year so these photos are only 1 or so years old. Thanks again great photos! This is why I love TC.
