I once spoke to Bob at Oceanic Arts about some of the really rare mugs that they have in their case. Apparantly, the Big Mouth mug (currently being reproduced by Tiki Farm) and the Cobra's Fang mug was manufactured with their stamp on the bottom. If you ask Bob to show them to you, they are marked Oceanic Arts on the bottom. He tells me they used to supply these mugs to restaurants back in the 60's. I know these mugs are ultra-rare as I've NEVER seen them anywhere (not even on eBay) other than their tiki-mug case in their warehouse. Great score! BTW - Check out this auction for a MINT set of Trader Vic's Suffering Bastards: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2111800438
