Description:
This is one of those Holy Grail postcards. The first time I have ever seen photos of the Beachcomber restaurant that was located in Victoria, British Columbia.

It is an oversized card with three great photos of the restaurant interior and the exterior.

First, the exterior. That A-frame entry with the Tikis holding it up is super cool. There is even a PNG-style storyboard painting on the A-Frame entrance. And that waterfall in the window to the right - WOW. More Tikis on the wall to the left.

The bar area crammed with lots of visuals.

And the dining room, also full to the brim with all of the Poly Pop classics, from fish-trap lamps, fish net floats, Leeteg nudes and jade tiles. And those great Tiki table lamps.

Back of the card.

As many of you know, this was one of five Beachcomber restaurants located in Canada – as listed in these matchbooks I posted previously.

Very happy to get this beauty.

A young local tiki enthusiast (with better eyesight than me) found my tiki in one of the these Victoria Beachcomber photos that @Pineapple directed me too!!!!

If you look at the last photo of the dining room, he's easier to spot...right in the middle of the picture there is a light coloured, framed side of the booth seating with a tiki picture on it, follow a line directly up from the right edge of this (where it meets the right booth seating back) and you will find him up there!!
