It has "Rubens Originals" and a Made in Japan © Los Angeles sticker. They couldn't remember. Any ideas? I've trawled the threads for all three, but have found nothing. Hoping the resident geniuses here can help! I can place The Islander in Manchester, CT in 1977. Not much info out there on this one... Wow!!! Very likely. The people were convinced the name was "Islander" adjacent! Thank you!
