"Glassware has always been an overlooked part of collecting calassic Tiki"

You are so right Trav!
But how do you find it?
AND if you find it most times it would be just the same style of say Libby glass they used.

At my old restaurant we used the same water glass for ever like from 1942 till 2000. and it changed lots over that time, damn the trays would not even stack well over time.

These ARE from the Kahiki as the guy worked there, and there was other kahiki mugs, Port light glasses and even a letter from George Ono saying hey he worked here.

Sooo that is very rare to find, I was one of the last people to get there with Wendyanna Jones as she had found it a bit sooner and told me.

Wendy and I are thinking about trying to make a list of ALL the glassware that the Kahiki used over the years.

Man it would be TONS!
If you think about the Lee/Sapp years, then the Bocyh years, Taso years, heck there would even be the Tropical Bistro guys kind of in that list.

Just think of storing, carrying and washing that Mystery bowl, that thing is heavy.

Years later they changed from much of the glassware and this might be where the peoples dad who had this got the glasses it was CASES.
