JL Moller workshop in Bahamas in 1950s?  

We bought our Moller table and chairs in 1995 from a Boston couple who bought it on impulse while honeymooning in, I think, Bahamas in 1955. They described a full woodworking shop on the island where tourists could watch them work. They picked it up in Boston Harbor, later commissioned a Boston woodworker to create a cabinet/buffet to "match."  

I've been curious: was JL Moller working on an island in the 1950s? Was it common for furniture makers to set up shops at tourist areas like tropical islands?
