The Shingle Stain apparently underwent some evolution. The drink details in the 1972 Trader Vic’s Bartenders Guide, cited above, describe a somewhat different animal from the recipe in the 1946 Trader Vic's Book of Food & Drink:

Shingle Stain
Now don’t take a shingle off the roof. This is really good. No fooling.
1/2 lime
1 ounce dark Jamaica rum (Red Heart or Myers’s)
1/2 ounce St James Rhum
1/4 ounce Pimento Dram
Dash of pomegranate syrup (grenadine)

Shake with cracked ice and pour over cracked ice in a 12-ounce Chimney Glass.
