I don't think it was from The Mauna Loa Detroit though. The design looks like North West area Native American to me also. I did some digging on Mayer China and the number "261" is a date code. 2 being the second quarter of the year and 61 being 1961. The Mauna Loa opened in 1967. As far as I know they marked every thing with their name. Anything to do with the Mauna Loa is always worth checking out. Here's a plate posted by Sabu in the colecting tiki thread.
