FYI...
For those of you who would like some historic content added to your mug collection, a few mugs used on the Gilligans Island TV show are being offered for sale (via ebay live auctions)

The first lot includes a a cool plastic, pineapple-shaped pitcher, a ceramic coconut mug, and three seashell necklaces

The second lot features a bamboo mug and paper umbrella, used by Jim Backus

No indication is given on whether any authentication documents are provided with these items -- which may go a long way in convincing your friends that these items were really used on the show.

These are only two of the lots from a larger celebrity / memorabilia auction that include some pretty pricey items (James Dean's Flask, guitar owned by Muddy Waters/Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix's vest, Traci Lord's bra, etc)
