I was poking around the Munktiki site and I found the Trader Mort's Mug. I hadn't seen it before and couldn't find any info on it though it looks new. It's on the order form but not in the new section or on the tiki mug pages. http://www.munktiki.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=TMTM&Category_Code=TM

I appologize if this is old news but I thought it was pretty darn cool. Description as follows:

"The Trader Mort's Tiki was carved by Eli Hedley in Midway City, Ca. at the Island Trade Store. Eli is noted as the Original Beachcomber and the Grandfather of Bamboo Ben. The Tiki now stands in front of Trader Mort's Liquor Store in San Diego Ca.. This modified version of the original Tiki is a Tribute Mug to Eli and his wonderful carvings. The mug is 7 inches tall and holds close to 3 cups. Limited to a run of only 120 mugs it sells for $40.00."
