Hawaii mug 3

"Book-em Danno, then lets grab a cup of java." After yet another winter storm, this mug seemed appropriate for this week.  Not sure what's going on with the pink/yellow ocean gradation on this mug, but it still rates a Hawaii 10- O in my opinion.

American Metal Fabrications mug

A nice no-nonsense coffee mug from American Metal Fabrications Inc.  A shout out to A.M.F. for going with a bold stylized logo design (which actually isn't too bad) instead of the more expected stars and stripes motif.

HRH Insurance mug

A straight forward, no nonsense mug with a slightly industrial edge from HRH Insurance. The blocky 3 dimensional HRH type gives this mug an extra caffeinated boost.

Wang mug

Perhaps the victim of too many computer geek jokes, Wang Computer went bust in the 90's. This promo mug featuring generic artwork and a reference to the 80's movie Back to the Future is a momento of technology's past.

SNR mug

Don't let the slightly off center logo fool you, when it comes to ball-bearings SNR is "Aiming for excellence." Coffee mugs-- I'm guessing not so much. The parade of various ball-bearing casings wrapping around the bottom adds a nice detail.

Winter mug

Although this oversized coffee cup has a ski motif you don't have to be sitting in a rustic ski lodge to enjoy it. This hand-painted mug from Hungary was at one time sold by Starbucks.

Fuller Brush mug

Above is a promotional mug from the legendary Fuller Brush company, once known for it's door to door salesmen.  This mug sports an older logo and is probably from the mid 70's/early 80's.

Christmas mug

Happy Holidays. Stylized ornaments set a Christmas mood, circa 1977, on this coffee mug from the mail order merchandiser Lillian Vernon. 

Ohio mug

Earth shoes meet Juan Valdez in this souvenir mug from Ohio. The disco script type and trail of stars clearly marks this as a relic from the 70's. The back has the State bird ( cardinal), the state flower (carnation) and a sailboat ( the state boat?) illustrated on it.

Virginia Road Builders Association mug

Although the logo has a nice WPA feel, I'm guessing this coffee mug was made in the 50s or 60s. The owner of this mug was maybe more of a communal type and opted out of claiming ownership on the backside of it.
