Kim's Kon-Tiki Mug Green
in 6 collections
The design of this mug is borrowed from Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki boat, which used the design of a South American sun god, Kon Tiki. Forehead has three sunray-like dashes, lips are two horizontal lines. Marked "Kim's Kon Tiki Tucson AZ" on back. During the 1980's Kon Tiki was owned by Mr. Kim, a former chef at the restaurant, and he ordered new barware stamped with 'Kim's Kon Tiki', although the bar itself never legally changed name.
Some of these were made by CARMAX ENT. (marked on bottom) and some are marked from FIRE HUT MFG.
