Interesting. That pedestal mug was for sale in the gift shop? (Lower right on the shelves.) I have only seen one of those anywhere. It is featured on December in Tiki Daze. How these things didn't survive, I do not know, but that mug and that barrel mug are rare as all get out. The drum survived better. I know of several in collections. I guess it just looked prettier and people hung onto it and the others went in the trash along the way. It does help you understand how they ever ended up in someone's home.

But you also know the Mai Kai sells this stuff now when they have it. They ordered new lamps for one of the rooms and sold the same lamp in the gift shop. I have one. They have/had souvenir tikis, but not these obviously.
