Item 5753
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 4 1/4" Motto Jug.  
 
This beauty reads, "Motto Jug. 'Eart, drink and be merry.' Detrick Distilling Company, Dayton, Ohio." 
 
This Dayton company made a series of a dozen Motto Jugs around 1900, one without a border around the motto and one with a border.  These jugs have retained their popularity with collectors due to their small size and humorous mottos.
 
This example is from the series without a border around the motto and features one of the harder to find mottos.  Stands 4 1/4" tall. 
 
Exceptional Condition.  As made.  No damage of any kind.
