Found this today:
And the other side:
And a better look at the nudie handle
I would love any information or help finding more out about Mr. Bob Schultz and the 730th Bomb Squadron. They saw action in both World War II and Korea before becoming a more humanitarian airdrop Squadron. Mug is old with crazing throughout and a nice smooth feel. I think it is hand painted. PM if someone who focuses more on this wants to trade for Tiki/Hot Rod stuff. I wonder if their logo was the inspiration for the Slim Pickin's scene in Dr. Strangelove.

OK  I'm putting this in here because I did a search just trying to find out something about this piece I picked up over the weekend. I wanted it because it was a Devil and Halloween is right around the corner and it also holds a bottle of booze! But I found this search and was wondering if any of the peeps that originally posted photos could show me theirs?
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=2286&forum=5&hilite=carved bottle case
Now I have to go through all the booze to find a bottle that fits it.. Does anyone know what kind of booze actually came in it? Assuming it did? And the Made in Spain sticker is on the bottom also.. And I new it wasn't a Witco! The Devil made me do it!

A couple of new acquisitions..

And i don't know too much about this, other than it is 60s italian ceramic. I enjoy its crazed cat face though..

The story I got;
A couple of wood sculpture panels from a 1957 lobby of a long gone building in Cleveland,salvaged in 1963. Very mid-century modern,in my opinion.
I do not know if they hung vertical or horizontal.either way ,cool.

Hit the jackpot with this big vintage back lit 3D "Jesus at the gate" picture. The 3D effect on this one looks like it is six feet deep and looks great at night. Hard to find one of these in great shape and this one is fantastic and almost creepy cool in 3D.
