I'm on a 2-week business trip to Boulder, CO and this weekend I went mug-hunting in Colorado Springs. I scored 5 mugs, which is more than I've ever found in a single place, and passed up a whole bunch of other tiki-related items (masks, s&p shakers, etc.) that I simply didn't have room to take back home with me. I don't have a good digital camera on hand, but I snapped a few low-quality pics and put them online:

Trader Vic's Coffee Grog mug
Speckled Trader Vic's Fog Cutter mug (marked "ugly womon vase" on the price tag...:D)
Paul Marshall wooden mug with handle
An unmarked 3-faced bucket mug

But the most unusual (and cool) mug I found was this Shriner head which came from a local lodge and was dated 1972. I'd never seen anything like this before, so it was pretty exciting!
