I'm pretty excited about a recent find, but I can't find any info in them:

They have the name "Gillen" on the side, typically where the bar name might be. I found a MCM furniture company from the late 50's in France with that name. Not sure if it could be related.

On the bottom of two of the mugs there is a name and a date: Genny King, 12-25-61

The woman who sold them to me didn't have any info on them. She said they were tucked in the bottom of a box of linens that she purchased at an estate sale.

I was very excited to get them, especially if the Xmas 1961 date is valid. My first vintage mugs! I couldn't find them listed on Ooga Mooga. Anyone seen these before, or have any additional insight?

Thanks in advance!
