Hoping someone out there in TC-land can help me with this...

I'm seeking any and all ephemera related to two long-bygone Chicago Tiki joints, Honolulu Harry's Waikiki as well
as the Polynesian Village at the Edgewater Beach Hotel.

Both were early establishments (1930's-40's) in the Uptown neighborhood.

I'm seeking matchbooks, napkins, menus, tableware, etc... if you have postcards, fliers or other paper goods in
your collection and would be willing to send me a high quality printable scan of (via WeTransfer or Dropbox) that
would be absolutely epic!

Any and all help is appreciated... I'm planning to use these for a future project related to keeping their
memory alive and well, so rest assured they will be put to good use.

I know I've seen some plates and things with the Edgewater Polynesian Village logo on them (this was part of a chain,
and there was another version at the Somerset Hotel in Boston that used identical logos and menus) and PV would have
been going a good amount later than Harry's, which I believe had closed up long before the Tiki movement really got
Tiki in the 1960's.

Thanks in advance!
