This thread is enlightening. I didn't know there were so many people who primarily collected the new mugs. I only have a few. Mainly I have mugs from events I attend. Otherwise it's all vintage. It's also interesting how we all seem to have a couple of mugs. If you look through the pictures, there is one or two that is in almost every one...

So here is my display as it is today. When I moved, there was no tiki bar. And there is no place to display in the bar now anyway. So, a few mugs I put on the kitchen counter and then as I have gotten more in the last 4-5 months, I have just put them there too. So far, the missus isn't complaining...

Let's see 4 OMC handled mugs, Mr. Bali Hai, Mai Kai coffee mug in the back, Aku AKu lidded mug and bowl and barrel and peanut style mugs, TIki Bob N.O., TV bowl, Kon Tiki S&P, Mai Kai matches, Don the Beachcomber $1 coin, Martiki (Thatnks Holden!) Aku Aku surfer girl bowl with Stardust postcard and room key, lots of Mai Kai postcards, Aku Aku cocnut mug, and surfer girl mug and another barrel, Tepco blue bowl, Kahiki barrel, Kona Hawaii mug, Mai Kai drum mug, Kahiki postcard, Kon Tiki plate, Hawaii ashtray, Mai Kai coasters, Teuila's Hawaii Leilani, and black Moai.


On the actual bar, Orchids Volcano and Trader Dick's bowl.

I feel like I don't have much, but when I consider this all came to me in the last couple of months or so, I think it's pretty good. A lot is Ebay. I also have network of hard core "junkers" looking out for me now. Plus, the missus has brought in a lot.
