Hello,
Thought I might add to this discussion.

I took this pic today of the original Tiki from the Beachcomber. It is about 4 1/2' tall. After leaving Regent Street, The Tiki resided with us in Middleton, WI. It then accompanied my brother to California for a few years. Around 1995, it returned to Madison, back near the Greenbush (Brittinham) neighborhood. Presently, the Tiki is now on my home in Colorado, ironically overlooking Lake Dillon and the Marina's TIKI BAR.

Mathew Pelletter was my grandfather. The Tiki was handcarved by my father.
