I know I'm shooting myself in the foot here, giving away some of my secrets, but it's fun to find those hidden tiki items on e-bay.

Here's the scorpion bowl I just picked up. It looks like one other tiki collector spotted it as well, (sorry, mate!).

I received the bowl in the mail just the other day, and it's very nice:


Unfortunately, it has no markings whatsoever. It seems to match the scorpion bowl on my menu from the Los Angeles ISLANDER on La Cienega Blvd:

But I can't be sure. I was wondering if anyone knows anything more about this make of scorpion bowl. Are there marked versions? Along with that, does anyone own mugs or bowls from the Islander in Los Angeles that are marked as such?

Puamana, does this scorpion bowl appear on any other menus in your collection, perhaps?

Any help pinning down the provenance of this bowl would be greatly appreciated.
