[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4522285, member: 88"]I picked up these 7 mugs at the GW last week. They have the stamped maple leaf Western Stoneware Monmouth Ill. mark on the bottom & 2 of them (the Christmas 1987 & the one with Santa looking at his list) have the shield mark also. The Christmas 1987 mug is the only mug that also has the large maple leaf on the backside of the mug that is shown in the photos below. The six stacked mugs also have the number 3014 & U.S.A. impressed marks on the bottom. They are 3 3/8" to the side edge & are 3 1/4" across the top. I have searched online & have not seen anything like them anywhere. I even spent an enjoyable 30 minutes watching a PBS special about the Western Stoneware museum in Monmouth.
