KC - That Tonga Tabu mug from the Kalua Room is outstanding! The texture so similar to their drum mug.

Another question: Does your prototype bowl match up with this image from one of the Bartender Guides:?

...or are the characters on it actual gremlins as well?

DustyCajun - Those mugs from the Tahitian are excellent additions. I don't think I've ever seen them outside of those menu pictures either. The "Smog Cutter" was a very clever name for the time. Back in the 60s and 70s, Pasadena was one of the smoggiest cities in California. I remember dreading when we had to visit relatives there because my lungs would hurt the whole next day. The Clean Air act sure changed things.

GatorRob - nice find on those Derby Daquiri glasses and thanks for the close-up photo! I think they were manufactured by Morgantown. I've seen them sold once or twice on eBay by glass dealers using the Morgantown name. Here's another vintage image for you to geek out on:

ron-tiki - Another fantastic find with those Fogcutter mugs. I would have never known, had I seen them. Nice to match them up to that Outrigger Club menu.
