Swanky, I have a question about this bowl:

It's pictured twice in your book but not mentioned. Looks like a Trader Vic bowl but was being used at the Mai Kai. Was it temporary before the Mai Kai had their own Mystery Bowl made or was it for a different bowl drink entirely? And do any of these exist in the world with the Mai Kai name on it?

Mike,
It is the early Mystery Bowl. I have several images of it and it is in the first ads for the Molokai and Mystery Drink. I thought I mentioned it in a caption. I'll have to add it in if there is a 2nd edition. The gray Mystery Bowls are super rare, so the chances these early bowls are out there is slim, but possible. Have never seen one.
