Hummmm....I wonder.... No, I think I'll keep mine. Never seen one before or since I purchased mine at the flea market for a buck. I wonder who actually manufactured this style mug.

IN FACT, I would bet my testicles that mug is NOT from the Bali Hai on the Beach AT ALL, as they wrote the name of that restaurant "Bali Ha'i" pretty consistently and I have seen that font/logo used on other mugs that came from one of the many other "BALI HAI"'s that used to exist. The seller is from Florida, which tells me there is no regional reason to suspect this mug was from THAT Bali Hai.. he/she is making some pretty lofty assumptions. SO, in conclusion friends, someone paid a premium for a fired-on decal with some bamboo lettering. Let's be careful out there. Over and out.
