A&W Mugs

A&W Mug Collection

Below you will see all of the A&W Mugs that I have been able to find.  As you can see there are a lot of them. I am sure I am missing some.  I would love to have you send me a picture of any A&W mug you do not see below.  I will add them as they come in.  You can send pictures to tom@floodeen.com   It will also give me something to look for when I am out and about searching.

I have added the ones I do not have to the bottom of this post.

Anniversary Mugs

I am not sure they come out every year, but most years since 2000 are covered. The largest I called a Papa Mug.  The One slightly smaller is the Mama Mug.  Farther down you will see the small Baby Mugs.  Most of the yearly ones I have only ever seen a Papa Mug.

There are a couple Mamas Mugs like the 95TH Anniversary and the 2000.

Regular Square handle and the Ear Handle.  These are Mama Mugs.

MUGS I do not have.  (Yet)

Art Pettit sent me the next 3 pictures.

Merek sent me the below mug.  It is not frosted. He just pulled it out of the freezer to take the picture.

Scott Morgan share the below picture of his wall of A&W Mugs.  They are all different is some way. That is a lot of mugs.

Root Beer finds in Texas 2017

Here are some items I found but did not buy while on my trip to Texas in May of 2017. Mostly I did not buy them due to the high cost. In a few cases it was due to the large size.  Farther down I show what I did buy,

$295.00  Nice condition but too rich for my blood.  Found in Tulsa, OK along I44.

$695.00  This is a small one.  Very nice.  Also found in Tulsa OK.

$595.00  Found in Tulsa, OK.  Has a few condition issues.

I already have all 3 of these. They were each priced around $50.00 also in Tulsa, OK

$195.00  in Tulsa. Nice condition. I have no more room for signs.

$1,095.00  Very large. Both sides say RICHardson Root Beer. Found just west of Wichita, KS.

$85.00  Cardboard sign. West of Wichita KS

Don't know the price.  This is a soft cooler bag. Wichita KS.

$29.95  Paper label. Full. Wichita KS

These next three are items I saw at an Antique Show in Colorado just prior to leaving for Texas.  They are all in mint condition but were priced that way also. Way too rich for me.

$345.00 This is a stoneware glass, not a mug

$180.00

$750.00  This is the first one of these I have actually seen. I have a few of the small mugs with this same picture. Once I saw the price I was afraid to even touch it.

Below are the items I found that I did buy. There were not a lot of finds.  Of course when you already have thousands of items it is hard to find things you do not already have,  Even a couple of these are duplicates, but were so cheap I could not pass on them.

All the above were found in Wichita. Paid $6.50 for the Hires Mug. $15.00 for the old Hires bottle. $8.00 for the XXX bottle. $4.50 for the Yankee Doodle Root Beet, paper label, 1946. Paid $4.00 for the AAA Glass (which I already had thanks for Vince)

Found this nice set in  Austin, Texas. $48.00 for pitcher and 5 mugs. Seller said they were from the 1930's but they say Hand Painted and Made in Japan on the bottom so I am thinking more like the 1950's.  Still as very nice set.

These are the only two new root beers I was able to find.  We did find some Big Chill Root Beer in Pawhuska, OK but I would have had to buy a 12 pack of cans and they only has Diet.

All in all it was not a great Root Beer trip. Later this year we are thinking of going to Edmonton Canada to see the 800 store mall.  I have never looked for Root Beer in Canada. Could be fun.

Thanks for reading.  Share this with others.
