The first one was the TIKI, of which I believe I published this photo in my books: Now rope FRAMING is cool, but what I really liked was what they did for the TIKI TOO, down the street from the Tiki: Unfortunately, by the time I got to document it (in Sept.'93), the lettering had somewhat decayed, so I never used it for publication. But I often wondered about the way it must have looked in its heyday, hoping an original photo would surface some day. Probably as cool as this rope font: Next: Anchor chain art... :wink:
