I found these two mugs at a local Charity Shop recently. I’m always surprised what I can find, and in this case, that two related items would show up together.

Let’s have a closer look at this Yellow Circle Mickey Mouse Glass Mug Set:

The yellow circle (or sun?) Mickey Mouse logo is simply repeated on both sides of the mug and on both styles of mugs. I do love it when I can find an interesting pattern repeated on different pieces of merchandise!

In case your new to the blog, I recently posted a WDW Pedestal Mug featuring the old Castle logo and a set of YOU & ME Pedestal Mugs, also from WDW. Lays Potato Chips launched an ad campaign that taunted “Bet you can’t eat just one!”. Disney said ‘Hold my Mug’ and knows we can’t just buy one piece of merchandise of a type! Sigh. They’re right. I’m addicted to pedestal mugs!

Now let’s have a look at an interesting feature of these mugs:

The ‘Double-D’ trademark logo on the bottom of these mugs was the main reason I bought them. I’d never seen it before! The Walt Disney Productions branding means it was used prior to 1986, but perhaps longer. It shows the Disneyland ‘D’ connected to the Walt Disney World ‘D’ inside a black guitar pick? This could have been the start of cross-merchandising between the continental Parks.
