They own Aloha Spirit in San Clemente. Believe me, Don and Michelle are extremely knowledgeable about all things hawaiiana. If you've ever seen any of Mark Blackburns books on hawaiiana, you've seen many of pieces of Don's collection. I have a number of extremely rare and one-only hawaiiana pieces, but Don's collection blows my mind. In the next couple of weeks I'm going to post pictures of some hawaiiana categories in Madame Bong's collection. You're right, the prices can be unbelievable. I've seen Tepco leaf pattern water pitchers go for $1,600 plus, and those people knew they had a good deal. I can tell you're no slouch when it comes to tiki and mugs, but this is just a different type of collection, and is very much a part of hawaiiana from decades ago.
