I have not seen those with the Hapa Wood bases before either. Cool! I do have two with Coco Menehune fishermen with brown bases that say Hawaii and are made of a thin resin. If I could figure out how to put pictures on here I could show you. I too, also believe HIP to be a seperate company than Coco Joes. The quality of Coco Joes is so much better! Of all the pieces that I have, only the HIP pieces have the finish coming off. I would believe that if the companys were connected, they would use the exact same methods and have the same quality finishes. I am not an expert but that is what I have seen. See yah!
