No Tiki mugs in sight then. And I bet you the Trader did not call those mugs Tiki mugs either. :) Thanks for chiming in, Frank. The patent for the skull mug that you see in Tiki Modern was filed by (or granted to) Vic on Nov. 14, 1939. The Tiki stem glass patent however was applied for on July 9th, 1958, and patented March 22nd, 1960. (What, did they have to TEST it for over a year? :D ). Another one of the numerous proofs of my Pre-Tiki/ Tiki-period time frame theory. Still a bummer about that lost OMC connection, wonder if there would be someone who could actually say: "This is the first mug we made that looked like a Tiki, and we made it in 19??".
