2013 was the first year we had these navy blue mugs. I remember opening the shipment and being shocked at how dark they were. I panicked! I honestly could not tell them from the black ones. (I pretty quickly discovered that the logo is darker on the black mugs...) Figuring that nobody would want these "blue" mugs that looked black, I quickly ordered a couple cases of the sand colored and another case of red. I'm glad I got the extra mugs because we sold out, but those navy blue ones that I was sure nobody would want sold out first!

This is a "good drinker". It's one of a few that I keep close to the coffee pot.

My navy mug has some lighter blue flecking near the top rim and on the handle, otherwise it would pass for black.

 

[ed4copies]

Smitty, I will certainly yield to Jeff, but I believe the mug you are looking at was the managers' mug. It had a blue fleck at the rim. I am pleased to say I have gotten a manager mug every year they have been available!! I am very grateful to Jeff for allowing me to help.

 

[ed4copies]

So, it is great to have
a bid from half way across
the world!!

But,
Isn't there
SOMEONE
who will
STEP
it UP to

$65???​

You're probably right, I think I did get a manager's mug last year, I also got on the year they were red....

 

[Tom T]

Crazy as it sounds $65.00

 

[ed4copies]

[ed4copies]

Jeff's reflection on this mug here (entry 11) is Unique!!

You could own this first "OMG" mug!!

So who will bid

$75???​

 

[mikellem]

I say $60

 

[stonepecker]

That's correct. The 9th year managers mug had the frosting on top.
