Vintage Trade Winds Oxnard California 3 Face Tiki Bucket Mug Mask Wagon Wheel
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:16967330 | Modified Item: No |
This is a vintage tiki mug from the Trade Winds which was a tiki bar and restaurant that was located at Wagon Wheel junction in Oxnard, California.
Trade Winds opened in March 1964 and it quickly became the hot place to be in town. The restaurant had a lagoon leading up to a soaring A-frame entrance; inside were a series of themed rooms, including a central gazebo-shaped structure, the Samoa Hut/Tiki Temple. The predominant theme was Polynesian, but some of the rooms included an Eas...t Indies room, a Sadie Thompson room, and a Zanzibar room, all designed by 20th Century Fox designer Fred Moninger, and decorated by Ione Keenan. There were many tikis, carved by Richard M. Ellis. There was a Polynesian floor show.
This mug is in used / pre-owned and in great condition with no chips or cracks. For collectors of this style of tiki mug, a "bucket mug", this is one of the rarer ones that does not come up for auction frequently.
My tiki mug collection has grown too large so I'm letting a few go to make room for more.
