Question:
Hello, I just acquired the Red Wing fancy mini jug with "Minnesota/Michigan" on one side and "Who will win?" on the other side. It is the 1/8 pint size and measures just 2 3/4 inches tall. I was able to get these photos of it. I know the approximate value, but am curious as to the vintage of this mini jug. When was it made? Thanks. Steve
Answer: Your mini jug was most likely produced in the 1930′s. Two University of Minnesota students ordered 5000 of these mini’s for $.20 each and tried to sell them for $.50. Didn’t go to well for them and they were still paying off their dept after they graduated from College. An know you know. Al Kohlman
