After searching Tiki Central, Ooga-Mooga, The Book Of Tiki and Tik Quest, I couldn't find one at all. Is this one of the rarest mugs? Thanx in advance for any info. Vegas BABY!

I have a bunch of mugs in that style from the restaurants around here & the Bali Hai in Mass still has original ones. I'd say it's pretty rare though as it's the first one I've ever seen. I'll be on the lookout now for one of my own. Where does your Mom live? & give her a big hug for finding a great rare mug out in the wild. Congratulations on your find. Tikisgrl

I wanted to add that the mug was marked $4.00 and when mom went to pay she was told the booth was having a sale and she got the mug for $2.68. What a score. [ Edited by: TikiPug 2008-11-11 17:39 ]

I tried the charm, didn't work! I tried the begging it didn't work! So I think the mug stays @ Pugs! On 2008-11-11 15:02, TikiPug wrote: Nope.
