Today: 1968: 1965ish: This was obtained by a guy who bought it off a worker during the "move" of the Islander building in the 80's. As previously discussed in this thread, the construction crew were allowed to take home the tikis is they wanted, otherwise they were tossed out. This particular one stood in front of the latitude 20, one of two that greeted you in the walkway. The twin tiki was split badly by the time the 80's rolled around, so it probably met its demise then. No word on the cool Barney West moai.... sigh Any thoughts as to if this was OA? Here are more close-ups. Man, I love the islander.
