Last week, while in Reno for a meeting, I found some time to check out a few antique malls. The malls I visited were loaded with mugs from Trader Dick's and from Harvey's. Each mall had at least a dozen mugs. Prices varied wildly, but most were in the $5.00 range. I bought these three mugs and the candle holder for $25, total. The mug styles pictured were available at every store I visited. I know they're not the rarest mugs (at least not in Reno!), especially the 'peanut' mug, but they are nice. It's worth noting that the peanut mug was available in at least a half-dozen different glaze styles. Also for sale were various scorpion bowls (from Harveys) and some different Harvey's tumblers and some old Trader Dicks tumblers with surfer girls on them. If you find yourself in Reno, and you don't have these mugs, check it out.
Finally, does anyone know anything about the candle holder I found? It's marked "made in Oregon".
