“G. Martini & Co. Wholesale Liquor Dealers, Calumet, Mich.” jug

Question:
I have a jug with advertising that says "G. Martini & Co. Wholesale Liquor Dealers, Calumet, Mich." It is 1/2 gal. in size. The ovel around the adv. has a heavy oval ring an a lighter one inside of that. The printing is very vibrant and clear. The handle has the "pinched" look at the part that meets the jug itself. There are no chips or cracks: a very clean jug. The thing I’m wondering about is the shape of the jug. It doesn’t look like your tipical Red Wing jug shape. Is it a Red Wing? If so, what is it’s value. If you need a photo, I will send you one. Thank you, Barb

Saffron Bowl

Question:
Hi. I came across this bowl and believe it may be Redwing. Please let me know what you think. I did not attach a photo of the bottom. It is marked with an 8 and it is underlined. It has blue lines near the upperedge and around the outer. I believe its approx 8in tall, and 8in in circumference. Around the outer edge, on the underside, there are five smooth indentations. I hope this made sense! Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Mari
