It has not been added to this page yet.
But I think I have seen it before or one like it, was the seller in Ohio?
Wait I just saw it on page 34 of this thread.

That looks like it was made out of something called pour rock as told to me by Herman Leitwein.
Some of the ashtrays lamps ect were made from this stuff most likely a trademark name for a plaster like substance that was brown or grey.

Many times there would be a brown or dark colored felt on the bottom.

So many different people/companies made stuff for the Kahiki.

There was a guy Bernard C Altenbach who also did the Hustler clubs here in town that worked on the Kahiki he was eccentric they say he got into so many wrecks that he would wear a crash helmet when he drove a car.

They say he fell in love with one of the girls at the Hustler club and left his family and went to California, just up and left.

Heard much of this from the first interview that Jeff and I did with Mr. Sapp for Tiki Mag, Heck Tiki Mag cut most of the good stuff out.
I still have the notes from that somewhere.
Plus I had Mr. Leitwein with Tom Iaquinta also went to Mr. Leitweins house.
Want to get the info put here before I forget it all.

I can tell you I missed a ton of people/companies in that list of people that made stuff for the Kahiki up top, will add to that list as I find more.

Nice addition DC!
