Yeah, that looks like the same light but then many different tiki type outfitters sold that light.

I think one old Asian lady made all the lights back then and that's where they all came from.

I kid, but I don't think the places that sold the lights many times made the lights in house they got them from a supplier that got them from overseas.

OA did make some lights as well but stuff like those were most likely made elsewhere shipped to storefronts and sold.

There were many different company catalogs with that light in them.

So, unless somebody who knows where that light came from can tell you, well, you may never know for sure where it came from.

The Kahiki had many different companies that sold them decor, OA and Benson were just two of them that sold Kahiki decor so if I have a light from the Kahiki was it from one of those companies or even some other store, who knows.

Bought a record in High school it was a rare Led Zeppelin 45 and I checked out three different stores and each had a different price for that record, so I went with the cheapest guy and found out later that they were all trying to sell me the very same record from the guy I ended up getting the record from, the other two were going to buy it from the one guy and add a bit onto the price to make money.

Remember it ended up costing 45 bucks, one dollar for each RPM.

It's a cool light it's just that those lights are so damn heavy and big that many home bars would have a hard time hanging that baby.

So in a home bar that light most times would end up in a corner, and nobody puts baby in a corner.
