"You'd really need to study and memorize the menus to know what you are looking for"

That is exactly what Wendy does, that and she is ALWAYS looking.
She will be killed one day in a super sketchy thrift store in a really bad
part of town looking for this stuff.
I just hope Barb and I are not with her at that time.

BUT she finds the stuff because just like tiki David she really loves it and the hunt.
That's the key to the finding.

At times they would get a deal other times not, it does not matter if they really want the item though.

But you are right Swizz to find a true version of a unmarked Kahiki glass would be very hard.

THAT is why I have said that the people who stole these mugs and glasses saved them for the future, if not for the theft of these glasses they would have been used till breakage and maybe a few sold at the closing of that business if they had that style left and had not done away with that glass style altogether years before.

Yes I know it is wrong to steal these mugs/glasses and am not condoning it, but I don't think the Kahiki sold the mystery bowl so how many of those would be out there now if not for theft.

Even more rare would be the plain though cool Kahiki glass wear because with no Kahiki markings they would be saved and stolen less.

If only one of the Apostles was a crook we might be able to go see the Holy Chalice in a museum.
Or at the very least an ashtray from the table.

Thanks for all your hard work hunting, and sharing Wendyannajones.
