Help identifying these coconut cups? - Collecting Tiki

They are about 4 inches across and 2.5 inches high on average though the edges are varied with a wavy line. I checked the coconuts on a few tiki sites, did a google image search which only showed the above non-matches, and didn't spot them - so I'm guessing they may be cups from a hobbyist mold, possibly. Nothing special I suppose, but... anyone know? [ Edited by Holofernes on 2024-06-24 17:14:17 ]
