Hi guys!

Although this may be known about - i just discovered this on ebay -and no searches of Tiki Central turned up anything so i thought i'd post about it. I Just discovered this vintage Tiki cologne bottle for sale which i thought people might be interested in seeing. Definitely quite fascinating.

The seller describes it as: 'A rare perfume bottle for a fragrance entitled Zombie. It has a wooden cap that depicts a golliwog type character. Patent number on the bottom is 104835. There is a label on the front from the Hawley House Club Zombie, "Cleveland's most intimate nightclub," "definitely torrid," according to the label. This was one of the first tiki themed nightclubs in the region.'

Heres the ebay item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-CLUB-ZOMBIE-COLOGNE-BOTTLE-HAWLEY-HOUSE-HOTEL-CLEVELAND?item=120837270595&cmd=ViewItem#ht_4092wt_1396

A quick search of Hawley House Club zombie turned up this photo (dated somewhere between 1930 -1959) at: http://images.ulib.csuohio.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/postcards&CISOPTR=1812&CISOBOX=1&REC=12

Would love to hear any other info anyone has on this place and when it actually was. Also wondering what on earth zombie cologne would have smelt like...
