Las Vegas mug

The original owners of this Vegas mug may not have broken the bank at the casinos, but they did bring home this ceramic souvenir as a reminder of the fun times and free drinks had at the craps tables.

PASS mug

A nice mug from the Professional Airways Systems Specialists 1982 convention with a "you're in good hands" themed logo. I have to wonder if there is such a thing as the Amateur  Airways Systems Specialist convention?

4-H mug

A cup of coffee with milk and a dash of luck. In honor of St Patrick's Day comes a mug for the 4-H organization featuring their classic 4 leaf  clover logo design. You can almost smell the fresh cut hay and county fair livestock stalls.

Myrtle Beach mug

Feel the heat coming off of the hot sand, or is it the coffee you just poured, of this Myrtle Beach souvenir mug. Like most beach mugs it features the requisite sunset and palm tree silhouettes.

Goshen Scout Camps mug

A nice mug from 1986 celebrating a 20 year camp anniversary. The deer on the edge of this logo reminds me of that friend everyone has that manages to squeeze into every photo. Maybe its the stoic profile and it's fixed gaze across the mug- as if hoping no one has noticed.  Maybe I've just had too much caffeine this morning.

Marshall Fields mug

"Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town..." This mug comes from Chicago's legendary Marshall Fields Department store (now a Macy's).  Perhaps once sold as a souvenir, it features the M.F. logo below a skyline of the Windy City which wraps around the mug.

ChemTreat Inc mug

Cup of ChemTreat anyone? Not a bad looking mug, but definitely not the most appealing thing to read as you're taking that first sip of coffee in the morning. Guessing from the water drop art that their chemicals have something to do with water purification.

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.
