Question:
Can you tell me anything about a mini jug Redwing Union Doctor’s Bag Flask? It is not a commemorative piece from 2005. Thanks, Tina

 

Answer: Tina, most collectors will call this Red Wing mini bag a doctor’s bag. I reality, is is known as a Traveling Bag. It was produced by the Red Wing Stoneware Company for the 1912 United Commercial Traveler’s Convention. It is a bag bottle. Value today is around $900. Nice little find! Al Kohlman
