Trader Vic's mask?

I recently bought this mask from eBay. On the back, carved under the varnish, are the initials ‘TV’. Is this something that was made for Trader Vic’s or are the initials just a coincidence?

I think coincidence. I have three marked with a TV:

Buzzy Out!

Thanks for that. My carving has exactly the same TV carved as yours on the bottom left.

Aloha Simon,

Probably from a student at one of the many carving schools in Rotorua. it's a nice one.
