Actually, yours is one that I was calling the "detailed design".
Yours does seem a little smoother, like maybe from a worn mold, but it's the same design as mine, I believe.
:down: See, yours has more detail than the other one :down:

"..with the flat bottom. The lack of detail and the fact I found it in scotland has always made me wonder if it was bootleg version. Now mine is made in two parts the head and the hat cast separably and then joined, are they all made that way?"

Mine does NOT have a flat bottom... hmmm. But the hat is a separate piece, joined to the head. I think they all are.

"Anybody else spot this in the latest email from tiki farm, I guess their Beachcomber will be well marked.."

I assume Tiki Farm will do their replica of an original - it looks like our mug - cross-hatch pattern on the hat, etc.

Am I seeing something that's not really there? Maybe I'm wrong about different design versions. Maybe they are all the same mug, and the different levels of detail are because they just used the hell out of the molds.
