The Train Robbers 1973
The Train Robbers is the first mug that was made by Ketchum Originals, located at 1105 Long Beach Blvd, Long Beach, Calif. It’s interesting that the first blank mug that Ketchum used is identical to the last mug the Mug Shop used. We are not sure if there was a relationship between the Mug Shop and Ketchum Originals or if it was merely a coincident or they purposely matched the mugs for Duke. In any event there is no doubt the same blanks were used.
