Question:
I have a miniature "little brown jug" from a 1950′s Minnesota Gopher/Michigan football game. Another site identified it as red wing pottery, but I cannot find anything anywhere about it. It is in perfect condition. Please help me id it and determine approximate value. Thank you! Jolie

Answer: Jolie, your Minnesota Michigan Red Wing mini jug was produced in 1930. They were ordered by two students who paid 20 cent each and order 5000 of them for the games to be played that year. They were for sale for 50 cents each. It was not a good venture and they were still paying off there order after they graduated from college. They are never found signed. Value today is between $250 & $300 in mint condition. Al Kohlman
