BTW, if it doesn't have any marking of Tiki Farm on the bottom, I'd get a hold of the fellows at the Farm just in case it's a rip-off. (however, this one has more detail than mine, which is probably unusual for a rip-off) [ Edited by: Tikiwahine on 2005-06-05 22:35 ]

A real collector's item! That's a keeper! Aloha Tiki Greg- So what do you think it's value is? ( I heard through the underground tiki mug black market that it might just be the first Tiki Farm Mug ever made. It was dropped on my doorstep many moons ago with a bunch of biz cards stuffed inside)

Most people wouldn't realize how rare it is, so ebay might not be the best place to sell it, if that's your interest. I think an avid mug collector would be very interested in it, so maybe taking offers? Hey, if Uncle Arty can get $129 for a relatively available Mondo mug, you can figure someone would be willing to pay a pretty penny for a piece of modern tiki mug history!

Hey now! That's not just ANY Mondo Mug, it was nurtured and cared for by Uncle Arty! Ben, I agree with Tikigreg. I'd hang on to that guy for a while until "The Book of Tiki Farm" is published. :wink:

Here's what our receipt records showed (we have a history of every receipt to-date but our sales history deletes out after 2 fiscal years)... Dental Pale Lime Green: 1 each (our 1st mug) Purple Dental Tiki Mug: 17 each Handled Dental Tiki in a Crazing Yellow Glaze: Around 700 or so (final # to be determined after I want to count) Ben don't sell it but give it back to me because I don't have it - gave most of the earliest ones away to friends.

I think I will keep it in the safe. Just testing the Tiki Mug waters. Smoggy, we sell it 20 years from now. Beer money!, during retirement!! Got another one I need help on but Shitterfly is jacking me around and won't let me post pics. ARRRRRR!!
