Note the forehead insert: Crossed golf clubs behind a purple pineapple. On the bottom of the base is the text: CREATION OF JAMES B. BEAM DISTILLING CO., KY-PRB-230, GENUINE REGAL CHINA 1973, C.MILLER, REGAL CHINA CORPORATION, 145, LIQUOR BOTTLE, DHN The back of the tiki is engraved "United Air Lines". This is why I always try to get my wife into the thrift shops -- she has a very good eye. [ Edited by: Palm Paunch on 2004-07-05 19:46 ]
