Help me figure out where these Orchids of Hawaii lamps came from (likely in Florida)! - Collecting Tiki

Regarding these specific lamps, I don't have any fresh information yet (the guy I bought them from is still trying to find out the name of the restaurant, but hasn't hit on anything yet). I have a friend who may be able to help me identify St. Pete's Chinese restaurants that have recently closed, if that pans out, I may have something to chew on. Stay tuned! (And if you live near Tampa Bay and have ideas where these may have come from -- give a shout!) Critiki - Ooga-Mooga - Humu Kon Tiki [ Edited by: Humuhumu 2015-01-01 15:03 ]
