Actually, no. I'll post it later when it ends. The rarest mugs I have ever seen in my life and, they are in a lot together. Should exceed $1000 easy.

Is this the one you are refering to?

The end of this one should be interesting.....

I saw that one earlier in the week. It's pretty cool to see those all in a lot, but I knew that was going to end WAY out of my price range. If that's the one Swanky was talking about, he might be just about right, that lot should hit $1000. I wonder if the seller knows what a goldmine that was when he posted them.

Surely he did not know since the Mystery Bowl alone would sell for over $700. The last one on Ebay went over $600 and it was not nearly as old and rare as that one is. That Rum Barrel is an old one and would fetch $75-150 minimum normally. The Hawaiian Village looking clown, who knows. The yellow barrel mug with the handle is not from the Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale and the 2 red mugs are not. Green urn thing is not Mai Kai, nor the Fu Manchu. These all came from an estate in Ft. Myers, FL. and are all likely from the same mid to late 1950s period.
