I'm glad to see this post back again. I remember seeing it when it first started and meant to post pictures of our Nautilus mug. It's just like the ones Sabu and 1961surf have posted with the same marking on the bottom. Here are some quick pictures:

Here is a shot with a suffering bastard next to it for size comparison.

We also have a scorpion bowl.

And not to derail this thread, but I've been curious to explore these variations in the coffee grog mug. I believe they are just different generations with the lightest being the earliest and the black one (marked 1963) the later. The earlier versions are much more thin walled and therefore more fragile. Perhaps that's why you see less of them than the 1963 version. Anyway, they probably belong in a separate thread altogether.
