Koolau -
Sorry I didn't comment on your find earlier:
Those are really beautiful. I'm impressed with how well the menu illustrator captured them in his artwork. They look just like the picture!

Thanks Bora Boris...it looked like a vase at first, but the shape of the mug was too close to pass on!

Tikiskip those glasses are a great find! They came in several colors. I think I have a blue one somewhere in my collection. They are often called Deep Sea, Skin or Pearl Diver glasses and were made by the Dunbar Flint Glass Company. They were used at various Polynesian restaurants and can be seen pictured in several older Tiki drink menus. I think the style glass is called Aramis...

Forget about the old mugs, that set is truly amazing. I love all the different colors. Worthy of use even today. Great find.

This is driving me crazy! I KNOW I've seen these in my hunts but at the time didn't know what they were. Now I couldn't find any to save my life! Kudos to those with good eyes AND the knowledge to grab 'em! They're beautiful!

The rare Sam's Sea Food mug...
...appears to be in use by the fellow on the left in this newspaper photo from 1967:
Nick Alex, nothin'. That's THE JAB!

Larger pieces are reduced in size and made into shot glasses and salt and peppers.
I'll stay out of the thread and doubt I'll ever post again even if I find the real thing.

This thread is about Crypto Mugs..the rare mugs that appear on cocktail menus that seem elusive in our hunts.
Not about salt and pepper shakers that look like these mugs and have nothing to do with what this thread is about.
Why cant anyone just let a thread be about the topic its referencing without adding in a bunch of nonrelated stuff...please someone tell me why.
Your salt and pepper shaker find has zero to do with the topic of this thread. You should just stick it in the Tiki Finds thread although its not tiki either at least its nautical in nature...
