Vintage Trader Vic's drink menu question - Collecting Tiki

This menu from Hinky Dink's (the original Trader Vic's location in the 30s) has a Shark's Tooth in it: After looking at it more, I'm convinced it was picked up along with the original menu that didn't have any drinks listed. The line "The new Federal tax has not been added" certainly sets it at mid-40s. I've also been searching and this was the earliest Trader Vic's drink menu I could find. Does anyone have an earlier one? T-shirts based on vintage tiki matchbooks: TikiTees [ Edited by: TikiTacky 2013-08-18 12:11 ]
