These were everywhere back when I was a kid; even today they are still be found on various auction lists as well as your neighborhood thrift or second-hand stores. If I were to judge popularity of a particular item, I would base a large percentage of my choice upon the sheer amount of examples still extant. I see more wooden mugs in the wild and in homes in general than any of the treasured holy-grail examples that have been mentioned above. My two-cent opinion :wink:
