Richard...thanks for the excellent explanation.
Emilio....thanks for the compliment. I've tried to research the statues without much luck. They were made by the Will-George Pottery Company which made other similar flamingo statues as well as exact copies of the ones made for the Flamingo Hotel. My best guess is that Bugsy's order of 200 was large enough to make a special run and mark the statues with the Flamingo logo on the bottom as there are other similar states without the logo.
