Makes a good quick reference page. I marked the items of interest. Here is a short quote from a 1982 history of Tepco. "Tepco outfitted Victor Bergeron with the original ware for his Polynesian theme Trader Vic restaurants: the Samoan Fog Cutter, the Tiki, Scorpion and Hula bowls, the Kamaaina coconut cup and a Death's Head mug for hot rum."
