These days, the power of the internet is making things a bit too easy (and taking the fun out of it?), when we can just do a Google search and get instant results. Most will stop their casual research there, assuming the vast wealth of a subject's content has been digitized and is available on the internet. You did your urban (periodical?) archeology the old-fashioned way by thumbing through hundreds of old magazines at an estate sale !! :) I'm sure the 1st-generation (pre-internet boom) Tiki Revivalists here can appreciate that the most. I think the most significant thing you uncovered is this: Spark plugs can be Tiki !! :D
