Tikicoma and creativenative - thank you for the excellent and thoughtful follow-up. Your posts -- and those of many others -- underscore how beneficial it is to have Tiki Central as a searchable repository from which we can learn. So glad we're not a "social media" system where thoughts and research disappear quickly.

I really enjoyed the new info on monkeys with fezzes. I recall there was an organ grinder with a monkey at Knott's Berry Farm in California when I was a kid, but the only photos I found online show the monkey wearing a small western-style hat. But I did not know that the fez monkey went back into the late 19th and early 20th century, great tin-toy photos, thanks for taking the time to find and post those.

[edited to insert "late 19th century" to my last sentence.]
