Kim's Kon-Tiki Mug Blue
in 3 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.
