I've had this Tiki for a few years. It's a wall hanger, chalkware, about 25 inches tall. I got it from a seller online from Southern California. It definitely has some age on it, but no identifying marks. Google image search produces nothing but generic long-faced Tikis. The only potential clue I have is I've noticed it resembles a small graphic image that's printed on the top right corner of page 33 in the book: Ninety Years of Classic San Diego Tiki. That section is about the Island Cafe/Tradewind, which together operated from 1937 to 1970. But, other than the similarity to that image, I'm at a loss to identify my piece. Any ideas?
