Since I found this in Tacoma WA my guess is it may have come from a place that was called Coco Joe's Tropical Island a restaurant with a tiny bar that was in nearby Sumner Wa. I went there 2-3 times in the late 90's early 2000's it looked like it had been a small warehouse or a workshop that a German guy who was in love with polynesia/south seas opened. It seemed a bit rundown but had lots of rattan, bamboo, peacock chairs and a giant tiki head chained to the floor by the front door, don't know why it must have weighed 500 lbs. It looked like it was cut off a taller tiki. Then again it could have come from the travels of the thousands of army/air force personnel who have come through here.

aloha, tikicoma
