Holy Grail mug found!

Or at least for me. So far. OK, it's actually the first collectible type mug I've ever bought, but it's a piece of my childhood. It's from the Trade Winds in Oxnard, CA, a place that fascinated me as a youngster. All that's left of that place are a few palm trees, at which I stare wistfully when I drive by.

This was way more $ than my comfort level, but it was worth it. It has three faces on the barrel. A piece of tiki and Ventura County history.

Where did you find this treasure

Congrats on finding a mug that has meaning to you and that you've always wanted.

Congratulations on your find!

NICE! I just passed up on two of these on eBay! They're lovely.

Congrats!! I remember the Tradewinds and Wagon Wheel as a kid there in Oxnard too.. :wink:

The recently knocked the last remaining bits of Wagon Wheel down, and took out the TW palms. Nothing left now but ghosts and memories
