Here' another shaker I think may be a Harvey's. I'm sorry I don't remember who first posted it.

I lived in Northern Nevada for 6 years and was a regular visitor to all thift stores, antique malls and flea markets within a 200 mile radius of Reno. I never saw any shakers exept for Trader Dick's. Harvey's S&Ps are really rare.

I always thought the logo was a 60's pop art version of a tiki drinking out of tiki mug.

But now I think it as a riff on the "Catch, Eat, Full tiki". Sven posted a thread on this motif, (I can't find it). It is a cannibal catching eating and having a big belly, but, never in that order. These Tikis were used on Don the Beachcombers menu and on luau and Maikai matchbooks. Tiki Fish originally posted this picture of the Jardin Tiki.

The Catch.
