I have the large and small versions of the matchbook that feature a nice Tiki, Tiki torch, and a cool little KM logo in bamboo font. They also had one of the palm tree mugs with their name on it that several other places used. James T writes in Tiki Road Trip II that the place closed in the early 1980's and had some wicked Mai Tai's. Any Vermont folks out there that remember this one? DC

A little more information, there was an exotic Island Lounge and the owners were the Lees. DC

It opened on Thursday, March 19, 1970. The building had very little Tiki, a lone mask over the front. The print ads featured that killer bamboo font. The Tiki lounge opened in 1975.... and featured the Zombie served in a headhunter mug. DC
