The Dog, Frog & Squirrel are
from MAB of France. There are
12 of these and NZ is one of the
few countries in the world
where they were sold. I (David)
have probably sold 30 or more
off-shore. These three sold for
US$31.01, US$39.46 &
US$38.99 respectively.

Finally, back to Scotland. The
Rutherford Bulls are well known
and there are at least 11
variations (see MBL). These are
well sought after and the brown
ones are by far the most common, probably followed by the belted black or plain black. The white
is much more difficult to find. The belted sold for US$34.88 (rather high) and the white for
US$53.88 (OK to high).

The Greybeard twin handle jug on the right was on sale for a minimum bid of US$49.99 –
Needless to say it did not get any bids. This jug is empty and the stencilled label is poor. For
contrast we have shown both sides of the jug as pictured in MBL. This is an odd jug in that it has
The Greybeard on one side and Heather Dew on the other. These jugs were made by Mitchell
Bros. of Scotland and the dual branding is not a mistake as it appears on single handle jugs as
well.

That’s it for now. If you do see anything interesting on any auction site please let one of us know.
