Reginald Wong aka Reggie Wong or Uncle Reggie (1943-2011) was Chinatown (Boston) distributor/restaurateur and community leader sometimes called the "Mayor of Chinatown". There is a park named after him in Chinatown. He was not a manufacturer. He worked with both OMC and Jackson China. For many years Mr. Wong owned a popular bar in Chinatown called Weggie's Pub, an establishment playfully named for the mispronunciation of his first name.

I had 4 of these mugs when I listed them. They are all listed and photographed separately. They are all in similar condition.
