I know this is different, but is there any information on the non-ceramic drinkware of the kahiki. I was wondering because the menu in the BoT shows a few different glasses(like for the fogcutter).

That's a good question. I have never seen one. But if I did how would I know? They are clear glass and that means they would not be marked Kahiki.
I also think the fact that they are not marked might be the reason they were not collected or sold as souvienirs. So I guess the only way to know one of these unmarked glasses was indeed from the Kahiki. Is if the owner has some, or if someone can say I personally got this glass there. Otherwise we will never know.
I have been told that the original owners of the Kahiki kept nothing!
Plus these glasses were only used in the early years of the Kahiki.
That being said we may never see these glasses.
I can now add an answer thanks to a wonderful family of a former Kahiki bartender.
The glassware used changed over the years as seen in drink menus from the early 60s, 70s, and later days. The examples the family shared are from the 70s, some made by Imperial, some Libbey. I will post pictures of the drinks from the menu of the same period along with the glasses.
Hope this helps shed some light. Over the years I know I passed over a few of these in the wild.
