RARE LeRoy Schmaltz / Oceanic Arts Vintage Kodak Film Sign – Final Oceanic Arts Auction

An incredible opportunity to own a true piece of Oceanic Arts history. This vintage-style Kodak Film “SOLD HERE” wooden sign was made by LeRoy Schmaltz of the world-famous Oceanic Arts and, making it even more special, was part of the FINAL Oceanic Arts auction.

LeRoy Schmaltz was the legendary co-founder and master carver behind Oceanic Arts, a name deeply connected with the golden age of Tiki, Polynesian Pop, tropical restaurants, bars, resorts, and immersive themed environments.

The sign features a fantastic vintage Kodak Film design on wood, complete with classic yellow lettering, the colorful Kodak film-box graphic, bold “SOLD HERE” lettering, and distinctive jagged-cut edges. The visible wood grain, surface wear, and aged patina give the piece tremendous character and an authentic vintage appearance.

What makes this piece especially exciting for collectors is its provenance. It was part of the FINAL Oceanic Arts auction, connecting it directly to the closing chapter of one of the most legendary names in American tiki and Polynesian design.

For the serious collector, the combination is exceptional: LeRoy Schmaltz + Oceanic Arts + Vintage Kodak Advertising + Final Oceanic Arts Auction Provenance.
