Great question, Sabu. One mug I think of first is a small moai mug from the Beachcomber in Harrisburg, PA. I'm originally from that area, and hadn't yet seen any tiki mugs from there. My mom found it in a thrift store for 50¢, and she didn't get it at first, thinking it wasn't anything special. She called me saying " I saw one of those tiki mugs that you like to collect, but I'm sure you already have it... it was 50¢, but I didn't get it..." I think by my immediate excitement , she could tell I wanted her to go back to the thrift store, as soon as humanly possible, to get it. She went back there a day or two later, and it was still there. Nice to have a mug that is from an obscure restaurant where I grew up, and that my mom found, and for cheap. Also, 2 heavy Totem Pottery tiki mugs that my mother-in-law found for me while visiting a few years ago, are also some of my not-so-common faves. I'll try to get some photos posted later.
