(1950s) Here is a treasure. This #153 style post has been a mainstay of the OA catalog since the beginning. Trader Vic's to Kona Kai to Kon Tiki and everything in-between have incorporated this famous OA carving into their decor. This is an early version of it as later configurations were slightly squatter in composition. Fully carved all around by LeRoy Schmaltz, this the first master pattern of this type. Features a rich, vintage patina.42.5"x5.5".VG+ with typical wear.
