I'd be thrilled to see a nice copy of one. I'd also like to know if anyone has a mug from this establishment in their collection. Thanks!

One is bound to have a menu,.....probably Mimi? I've had a pair of S/P shakers, but that's all from The Tropics, save a few "topless" matchbooks. The shakers were the usual OMC Moai head/woodgrained variety. Cannot recall if I've ever seen a marked mug from there. Then again, I'm old and feeble-minded. Some of the more astute and capable collectors in our midst may have some info. Good luck in your quest... midnite

Very nice feature-matchbooks. I've only got one of those, and no matches in it. Also strange, the Peruvian influence on the drink page. Great stuff. Sabu
