As best I can determine, the Sheraton Tahiti was first opened in 1960, then "completely rebuilt in July 1999 with Polynesian-style architecture, including thatched roofs". This would probably have been when they added their "Quinn's". That would be too late for any Mayer China with "Beaver Falls" on it. Mayer had been acquired by Syracuse China in '84, and their production was consolidated to a plant in New York in the early '90s. (A time machine would sure be handy for figuring these things out! I wish someone from the future would send one back, for us to use for a while. ) "The rum's the thing..." [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2012-06-04 15:49 ]
