1/8 PINT MINIATURE RED WING JUG 'EXCELSIOR SPRINGS' Kickin' around an old box of stuff
today and inside was this neat miniature RED WING "SOUVENIR EXCELSIOR
SPRINGS MISSOURI" 1/8 PINT Advertising JUG. Don't know where we
came up with or how long we've had it, but our research tells us they
are pretty hard to come by. This is the smallest of several sizes
the Excelsior Springs Mineral Water Company gave away as promotion or
sold as a sample of their water. Tiny jug is marked on the
bottom, as pictured: "M.S. CO." and was made in the first decade of the
1900s, so, it's now become 100 years old! It's just 2 5/8 inches
tall, has a small rough spot on the bottom edge which is difficult to
say whether is a firing factory flaw or a small edge chip; there are no
other chips or cracks in the jug. the stenciled advertising is
slightly off center and the letter "V" in "SOUVENIR" is not completely
clear. Glad to pass this little gem onto the right Red Wing
Collector. Please check our excellent eBay feedback and our GOLD POWERSELLER status and bid with confidence. Will pack properly and ship promptly. USPS PRIORITY MAIL $4.50, with insurance extra. CLICK "HERE" FOR A
