Not sure about the one on top but middle popper looks like a Pili and the last one a Kokoda.

If I'm not mistaken, AO sells the Kokoda and has some "not for sale" Pili poppers on display. Check it out the next time you drop by.

Hi MarkR,

Have you used those "old" poppers before? Are they better than the "modern" popper?

Cheers,
Edy

The top chugger is American, made by Fred Arbogast if i'm not wrong... Was popular amongst the guys who made trips to the Maldives with the AO gang in the mid 90's...

Re: Some old poppers

I have a few of the middle ones - but I bought them as Pili poppers, designed and built in Hawaii.

As for the last one, I also have/had a couple of them. I knew them as Kokoda. Not sure if they were designed in Japan, but I bought them here in Singapore.

Looks good, but give me a GT Bull anyday.
