i think this post has been written off as a dumb question. thought the post was long winded enough without getting into the whole story. maybe the full detail will elicit a responce.
i am aware that tikifarm is producing some Trader Vic repros, and i believe that they are available at Trader Vics.
i went to the rose bowl flea market to sell. i took a break and saw that a seller had the trader vics bowl, the one with the three hulas, the pineapple, and some of the coconuts. i would have bought them outright, but the prices were a bit ridiculous. they also appeared too new, when i flipped the bowl over the foot did not appear to have age discoloration. the pineapple and cocs were the same. i didnt talk to the seller, just grabbed his card and walked away.
geckos post on Trader Vics made me think about this, which led to the question as to what trader vics is selling. it also made me wonder if the seller has the real deal and they were stored really well or that he found a way to clean even the foot. if they are making new ones, i might go down and get at least the bowl to use. if they are not, i may consider calling the seller and trying to talk him down. in the end, i would like to have the originals, but my pocketbook aint fat enough for that kinda numbers.
hopefully this all said, someone will respond and save me a drive to Trader Vics.
thanks
