Been using these diner ware/restaurant ware mugs for years. Not particularly rare, usually easy to find if you're out there scouring flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops. They're mid-century mugs that hold about 6 oz. of liquid, quite a contrast to today's single coffee order that can hold as much as 30 oz!
The "VICTOR" mug was originally manufactured for the armed services during WWll. Bit of interesting history about the "VICTOR" mug here. The mug with the green band has no markings.
According to 'Ai' Ultima China was originally owned by Anchor Hocking from 1980 to 1988, and it is currently owned by World Tableware, based in Wallingford, Connecticut. Ultima China diner ware mugs were first produced by Buffalo Pottery, which began manufacturing restaurant ware in 1903.
