Is this really a Trader Vic's coconut cup? - Collecting Tiki

D DejaVoodoo Member Woodbridge, NJ Joined: Feb 07, 2008 Posts: 144	D DejaVoodoo Posted posted on Thu, May 5, 2011 7:09 AM I recently purchased a Trader Vic's coconut cup online and was told it had an in-mold mark on the bottom. Upon inspecting the item, though, I found no such inscription and I'm wondering if some Trader Vic's coconut cups were manufactured as unmarked. The cup was pretty inexpensive so ultimately I don't mind, too much. Still, I can't help but question its authenticity. It looks, for all intents and purposes, like the genuine article and is in great shape for being 50+ years old. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? Thanks.
