I did not ask about the history because my husband's grandmother worked at the Mai Kai for 25 years, including the time period when the Derby Daiquiri was famous. So I am well aware of the history of the glass. The reason I am selling it is not out of pure greed, but frankly, was simply not your business. But to satisfy you, it is because we have had to put Grandma in long term care and have no choice but to sell off her estate to pay for her care. I found this forum and thought that the Tiki community might be excited by the find. My sincere apologies for offending your delicate feelings. Trust me, I won't bother to try to sell the item on this site. Nor will I list any of the other very interesting Mai Kai memorabilia that I found in going through the estate.
