Wow!: All the classics in one swoop! Even the damn Beachcomber Jug lamp, I thought I owned the last one!
Well that one (and some of the others) would be from Oceanic Arts in Whittier, CA:
Another source is likely to have been Sea & Jungle in Glendale, CA:
It's entirely possible that Orchids of Hawaii in the Bronx made some of those lights, too, but I only have a "late Tiki" catalog from the 90s from them:
You have a real treasure there, these lamps are not being made anymore, and have not been for decades. It is great that they are going up in an original Tiki bar, and I dare say that they will make The Alibi into THE Polynesian paradise with the most impressive lamp firmament in the U.S. (..which it had been close to being already)!
The green jug one is close, but ours has a Puffer inside it! All these lamps will put us at 80 authentic vintage Tiki lamps!!
