Tiki Mugs and the Mafia

I recently acquired this mug for my collection:

I found out a bit of interesting info about the maker of the mug: Jard Products, 260 5th Avenue, Manhattan... the company was owned by famed mobster Johnny Dio!

I would have never suspected that the world of Tiki had a shady past!
