Buzzy strikes again - what a haul!

So there's this little thrift store in town that I pass by on my evening walks. Normally there's not much of interest on display - maybe some glassware or old appliances - but last night I noticed this marvelous Haeger clamshell bowl sitting in the shop window:

It is 14 inches from end-to-end and holds 40oz easily! I can't wait for the opportunity to stack it high with crushed ice and use it as a communal bowl. If anyone has some insight on this bowl I would be grateful. Cursory research has turned up next to nothing on this design or model number, So I can only guess at its age by the signs of wear.

After I grabbed the shell bowl I took another sweep of the window display, and caught sight of what looked like pineapple husk.

If I am correct, this is a relatively new boutique bowl, "life cast" from an actual pineapple. Not bad for $1.
