Everybody has their own favorite tiki style & this is one of mine. I have yet to score any mugs in this style & Seeing one of those type mugs together with a tiki bob mug at the thrift store many years ago is what got me interested in collecting in the first place! That was about 10 years ago. I didnt pick them up & I still think about it to this day with a bit of regret. Around that time I passed up a 'pineapple' head tiki mug from the Hawaiian Room in NY because it had a small chip (never seen another!) AND a green loong neck Don the Beachcomber head mug because it looked 'cowboy' to me. Acch, the memories....

Yep, that was a cool mug. I was looking at it, but missed the auction to watch Barry NOT hit #600! Even with tthe crack that is a great score, I figured it would go for more. I have seen 2-3 of these before. It's a great "signature" style mug...cause I think Quong's was the only place it was used, but no sure. BBTD, those were some fine mugs you didn't get. Oh well... midnite
