At one time I was sure we were going to have the largest collection in the "World" they were everywhere..never considered them as Tiki Mugs..but none the less, they were interesting mugs. During a dry spell almost any mug helps ease the pangs of another day and nothing spotted in the wilds. So we bought, and we bought, and we continued to buy. It's not a diversified collection , I can clearly see now. We call it a sub-collection, one of those off shoots. I have seen many on e-bay for what most would consider extreame even for a rare Tiki mug...and add to it the ever so high postage...we stick to thrift stores and garage sales to continue to grow our off shoot sub collection. It is true that many peeps are fooled and often times we have bought what was labeled string holder. No idea and no research is what most sellers put into it. The joy is in collecting , no matter what you collect, Tiki mugs, string holders or anything else. One of something is a find, two is the start of a new collection. I now have been enlightened and want to thank all of you, what we need is a drink book to go along with the mugs...has anyone ever seen one..as personally I've never been to the restaurant...8)
