I was at their website and although they have a few tiki mugs on the home page I couldn’t find any other examples. Any Hawaiian up for a field trip? http://www.dagahawaii.com/ Interesting... this must be a new website, as I have not seen this before. This is my understanding on Daga. They closed down in the early 90s, and Gecko bought most of their molds. Ne now makes most of those vintage mugs, he calls them his vintage Waikiki Classic line. Daga hasn't made any mugs since, and I thought they were completely gone. Not sure if it is the same company or if they are just using the name, but this Daga you showed seems to just to printing on stock items. Its hard to tell from the one crappy pic, but it looks like the mugs they show on the home page are just the normal ones you can get from dynasty and such. I'll have to check them out next time I am down there.
