I thought that i would post these here. Although not a mug, but S&P shakers, i think that these would quality as crypto. Found last week.

I wonder if there is a mug version out there?

Crypto shakers indeed! I have never seen them before. And yes, there is a mug version out there...

Very few items from The Los Angeles Islander actually incorporate their iconic Tiki image:

I have to say that the S&P Shakers probably match the closest. The only other marked Islander Tiki item (that I know of) with their signature Tiki is the ashtray:

But when it comes to mugs... The LA Islander "signature" Tiki mug is of course the awesome Island Chief made by Spurlin:

Which doesn't match their logo at all. But yes, there is a Los Angeles Islander logo Tiki mug:

which is better known as the Kelvin Tiki Mug. There's no documentation of it ever being used at The Islander and I don't believe it ever was. It was however used at the Kono Hawaii:
