But the third one is totally different: it's another 3 1/2" circular, but the graphic is of a shirtless islander blowing through a large shell. The text reads "Shelter Island's BALI HAI" (with no "'" between the 'a' and the 'i') and gives the full mailing address, but no mention of 'Point Loma'. The two round ones are of much thicker glass than the square one, and the 'islander' appears to be the oldest of the three, but I know little about ashtrays. SCD - what do you think?
