Question:
We have a small Minnesota/Michigan Who will win jug. We are wondering what year these were made and it’s value. It has Minnesota Michigan on one side and who will win on the other.(Blue ink) It has a brown top with light bottom. The cork is in place. It has a sticker on the bottom of the jug. This piece is in mint condition. Thank you, Karen

 

Answer: Karen your Red Wing mini jug "Who Will Win" was produced in 1930. They were a special order by two University Students who pooled their money and order 5000 of these jugs for 20 cents each. They were going to sell them for 50 cents at the Minnesota\Michigan game. It was a financial disaster and they were still paying off their debt after they had graduated. Value $325 to $375. Al Kohlman
