Went out to the two goodwills near my home today....

Found this jar with a depiction of Francis Langford's Outrigger in Jensen Beach, Florida. At first I was very happy to find it, I'm guessing Francis didn't have many signature mugs or such, as I've never come across any in my hunting. Thought maybe the jar was maybe sold in a gift shop toward the end of her run...maybe filled with some kind of candy or something. Then I noticed the law firm below... Guessing that they produced it for whatever reason. Kinda bummed, almost didn't pick it up, but it was forty nine cents.

Closeup of the label:

Also thought I'd found a different kind of Benihana mug. Reddish brown, shaped like a tree. Marked "Peru" on the bottom. Got home, looked it up on the 'net. It's a vase, not a mug. And it's a safflower plant. Didn't bother to take a pic of it.

And what is up with Goodwill prices?? Jar was forty nine cents. Safflower vase was a dollar and nine cents. They had a Benihana Geisha mug, common....four bucks!!! And a Red lobster lighthouse glass....three dollars!!!
