Made in the Philippines Mug, Badged

It's odd that the letters on the mug look like NZI ....
Jeremy could you please check out the shape when you get time ....

I'm pretty sure this is the 1256 rugby mug shape but ferret's photo is taken at a different angle making the mug look different.

I saw this mug or one identical on one of the facebook groups (in a topic on CL Philippines) so I've had this conversation before, and without checking I think the poster (whose name I forget) didn't buy because it was $10 or so.

Yes, indeed that was correct as I have now checked: it was Simon Barthope, posted on skite site January 23 and I posted Simon's pics in the rugby mug topic. Same mug or its mate.

Here's a comparison shot I made.

Thanks to your astute eyes for picking up that it was the same mug Jeremy.
I wonder if they made some things for the New Zealand Market?
I felt that I had seen the initials before, but have no idea what they stand for.

My thoughts too, Ev.

If not for the NZ market then why the NZ mongram?
