Mysterious Tiki “X” (French Connection... Page 4)

You are right Polynesiac.......no longer a part of the Rincon Room. Mrs. Fury insists on keeping it in the dining room.

Reviving this old thread on the "Rarotongan Tiki" that Cargoes by Carter imported from Samoa circa 1956 to 1960. Just found evidence of another one in Hawaii from a United Air Lines brochure dated 1963:
