We had deduced they were not vintage, nor rare, from the website for the company making them, Chiki? Your report was the first from someone seeing them "in action". Unfortunately, some unknowing ebay bidders took the bait and one of those mugs went for $300+. Just unreal. They're ok mugs...I'd pay around 10 bones for one from Mai Kai. Seems a few rest/bars are getting back to offering decent mug souvenirs. I am thinking of Tiki Farms new/old mugs for TV. Alas, the good old days will be just that...none of the new stuff holds a candle(torch?) to the vitage vessels. [ Edited by: midnite_tiki on 2002-04-29 12:39 ]
