I am no expert on this but it is a nice tiki in pretty good condition for being in a yard for 40 years! I would first research all possible places around the area here on TC from 40 years ago, look for pics and see if any tikis look similar. Ideally you would want to find an old picture of the Tiki in an establishment. Spend some hours on TC looking for restaurants and apt complexes in the Socal area. For that matter, look at what places in Socal closed 40 years ago? Late 70s/early80s is when many a great places closed down - the Luau, Don the Beachcombers, etc...

Secondly, I would go to the source - Oceanic Arts and ask them what their thoughts are. They might have well carved it!!!

Nice find...
