IMHO the rarest and most sought after tiki mug is the one you will probably never see. It is the Frankoma T6 tiki god scorpion bowl made for Club Trade Winds in Tulsa, OK. According to my resources only about 25 original ones(marked Club Trade Winds on the bottom) were ever made. They never come up for sale in the marketplace...EVER. They do exist and most of the owners will probably keep them until they die. If one were to come up for auction, my estimate would be between $1800 and $3000. Hope this info helps and happy hunting! I have been searching for a Frankoma T6 for awhile, I'm even holding onto a very rare original first test piece of the Frank Potteries (early name of Frankoma) if a Frankoma collector wants to trade. All I can find are people who used to own one and pics online. I agree it's one of the rarest but I'm not sure if it's the most sought after. As far as the Frankoma tiki goes I imagine the big T3 War God is most sought after, many mug collectors do prefer mugs over bowls.
