Oh my, those 1st ones are choice "Pony Express" Mugs probibly from Party City, the 2nd is for real too & they are very light weight so that when you throw it it pops! when it breaks. "Quon Quon" also makes that very mug & your others may be "Quons" they are not marked on the botton but by a pull off foil sticker that reads "Quon Quon"

I have to ask, I watch your posts & Ooga Mooga collection & all those wonderful pic's ...all 4,000 of them & have to wonder not to blow your jig here but LOL I don't buy it LOLOLOLOLOL :D Have fun with your collection

Hi Hip,
Thank you for the additional info. Aside from the price tag remnant there was no other sticker on the mug; maybe Buzzy can check his boxes for a manufacturer id.

"...so that when you throw it it pops!"; ok, that made me laugh! It sounds like the mugs were made for tossing into a fireplace (or fire pit?) at Tiki Weddings. :D You've had some experience with this, maybe?

I'm glad you like the pics, I know I tend to post a lot for each mug. I do it partly to document the mug, but it's also an attempt to give the viewer a fuller sense of what the piece looks like. If someone is considering a particular piece the photos could be used as a rough reference. And of course, I enjoy doing it. BTW - this morning I posted a reply to your comments on the Squll mug.

I didn't get the meaning of the last part of the paragraph, the part about blowing my jig and not buying it. The turkey and pumpkin pie have slowed me down a bit. :)
