Trader vic's vintage Reed & Barton hawaiian hula tiki bar figurine menehune statue.In 1960 these were for sale in the gift shop at the Beverly Hills Trader's for $50.00 (1960, almost 60yrs ago!). Trader Vic's MenehuneVictor Jules Bergeron, Jr. (1902-1984)Circa 1950s-60s. Reed & Barton's silverplated bronze paperweight. The rarest of all Trader Vic artifacts. Little is known about these paperweights but logic suggests they were commissioned by Victor as a functioning office accoutrement. Likely created to use at office headquarters and given as gifts to outside company executives Vic did business with. A very highest quality & (by Reed & Barton) extremely expensive to make, almost certainly a casting of 100 or less. Victor passed away a little over 30yrs ago and, when you do your homework, you'll find that since his passing only 3 of these paperweights have ever come up for sale: this likely being one of those 3 being re-sold and making it highly unlikely that there are still 97 of these floating around out there waiting to be discovered. So again, extremely scarce! Stands about 3 1/2" tall and very heavy at just under 2 POUNDS. One sold for $6500.00 in Feb. 2018 on
