sorry- let me clarify -

I was only referencing the palmer house trader vics. Having been visiting there for years, i was merely pointing out that of the tikis that were put on auction, though they were in the newer trader vics chicago. only the 2 i mentioned were ones i actually saw in trader vics palmer house. You are correct in saying that some of those tikis which came from the warehouse might have been from other places and could be vintage and not asian. The problem is that : There is no way to know for sure if any of those came from any other vintage trader vics and secondly, my concern was that some folks might get confused by this auction thinking that all the tikis up for auction were vintage and from the palmer house. I don't have a problem with the asian tikis. In fact there were 3 or 4 i would have loved to get. I would have loved if there were more tikis from the palmer house , reason being because i spent so much time there that a souvenir of the place would have been great, but at a price I could afford. For sentimental reasons, it didn't make sense to me to spend so much on a tiki that was never in the room when i was there.(palmer house). It was not a part of the palmer house history and thus not a part of my history.
