Nice set Bigbrotiki! Shakers that is! Come on!!
I have not seen one marked with Detroit on them before. Quite the source I might add as well!

Okay, the Mauna Loa in Detroit was not a chain and had no connections to the other Restaurant's with the same name BUT the Mauna Loa in Mexico City and the Mauna Loa location here in Canada (of all places) were connected!! Does anyone have a matchbook that possibly has any information on it?? I do not.

In the early to mid 1960's both places were operating. Does anyone know where the Mauna Loa in Mexico City was actually located? I know it was on Hamburgo but was it in a Hotel or a seperate Restaurant?

Do we know for sure that there was no affiliation between the two? The menu design is quite the same. Were maybe the S&P's that were marked Detroit actually for the Detroit location and possibly the others another place? Probably not but just wondering a loud here. TabooDan
