I’ve always been drawn to the barrel mugs. The generic ones are a dime a dozen but the good ones are a tough find indeed. Some of the mugs are huge, heavy and double walled in construction. If your lucky enough to find one of the double walled models you’ll be taken aback at the size and heft of these things. In my view the barrel mug is pure vintage tiki and belongs in any and every good bar. Here are some pics of some of the rarer barrel mugs in my collection. Thanks for taking a look. Everyone hang tight and be safe :D A rather common vintage Mai Kai mug with original OMC tag. A nice double walled mug from Steve Crane’s. An unused Don’s mug with original foil tag. A rare double walled mug from the Mauna Loa Detroit and another pic to show the size of these impressive mugs.
