Some examples I've acquired from several years of thrifting (from left to right);

  • Trader Vics "Aloha" cup
  • "Trader Vic USA" cup (lighter brown/dull finish)
  • "Made for Trader Vics" cup (tan-brown/dull finish & Japan sticker)
  • "Trader Vic USA" cup (darker brown/glazed finish, labeled 1966)
  • Generic coconut cup, Unknown maker in the DW style, dull finish.
  • "Desert Ceramics USA" with no other markings on the sides (i.e. not their Don the Beachcomber version)
  • "Buzz's Original Steak House" (maker unknown)
  • ... and what are probably some hobbyist coconuts.
