Well, back to my example. I collect Mai Kai pretty exclusively. I have a pretty good idea of what was made mug wise. The very oldest Mystery Bowl is rare enough that I only know of one. But, there are about 4 other mugs out there that I have seen once as well. And they are freakin rum barrels that say Mai Kai on them. They have never come up on Ebay. The Mystery Bowl was a small order. The Rum Barrels were made in quantity. But they don't show up. There is a Mai Kai "Clown" mug like from the Hawaiian Village and only Mrs. Thornton has one of those as far as I know. So, go figure.

Then there are a variety of mugs and bowls that are seen in menus that no one has. First to come to mind is the original Kahiki Mystery bowl that is in the first menu and seen in pictures. I know of none in existence. Did it say Kahiki on it? I bet it did.
