They were 100% autonomous from Trader Vics corp. They did not have any of the standard mugs as the TV's on the Mainland. Louie B was a supplier, and it is easy to get a seahorse without the Trader Vics logo. They had many other oddball suppliers for TV in Hawaii, as well. I agree..seahorses are cool mugs. Perhaps, I will talk to the management of the new Trader Vics here in Scottsdale, as they will be a franchisee, too. (This Trader Vic's is going to be owned and operated by a group that has Santuary Resort in Scottsdale. It shou;d be really chic (circa Palm Springs 1950) located within the vintage boutique hotel, the Valley Ho.) It would be great if they ordered Trader Vic's seahorses for this store from Louie B..I am sure he has the old molds.
