He is signed "Corky B. 1957" on the bottom. Apparently the seller knew that the B stands for Brondersen, which sounds like a good Swedish name from Minnesota, and fittingly this is the finest mid century modern Tiki I've ever seen. Anybody know who this Corky is? I love this design and it is really well executed (out of what appears to be a fine grained soft wood 4x4). Nice dark finish, I bet this is Corky's obit, http://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/78946/?fullname=don-a-corky-brodersen [ Edited by: sputnikmoss 2016-06-28 12:56 ]
