I came across this comment concerning the 'rotabar'. It mentions a large roof-top sign showing a boy blowing a horn.

As most of you know, I'm an aficionado of roof-top signs so I quickly began a quest for a photograph of the horn blowing boy sign.
And I've come up with.........ZILCH....NOTHING. 
Anyone want to try their hand at finding this elusive sign for me?

The restaurant was part of a chain, at least in Southern California. Ruby Lane Antiques has a platter on their site now which has the name and a picture of the boy with the horn. The plate says "Dinnerhorn Restaurants of Southern California" According to the blurb with the platter there were 10 of these restaurants in the area. Another site, called "Tiki Central" shows a different matchbook cover with a list: Pico Rivera, Bellflower, Whittier, Covina, Pomona, Montclair, Downey, Anaheim and Riverside. The Dinnerhorn company also owned restaurants with other names as well, but NO LUCK with the sign however...
