<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanaB, post: 1283174, member: 10739&quot;]Hello, </p><p><br /></p><p>Just happen to see this old post. This toby jug and I use that term loosely since he is not a full body and is not exactly a character jug either as not being just the head. A few makers made this in-between stage. And as you have learned they don&#039;t exactly have a name so they got lumped into the toby jug category. </p><p><br /></p><p>This jug, I have seen many times. I&#039;ve collected toby jugs for 40yrs. And to my knowledge, doesn&#039;t represent any one person. He does look English but the crossed arms and finger positions don&#039;t mean anything. And some toby jugs they showed the teeth and these were more desirable. This toby is not is great shape. The paint on his hat has rubbed off quite a bit. He&#039;s probably early 1800s. He certainly not the Prince Regent or Georgie Porgie. And not a Dicken&#039;s character. And not anyone else that I&#039;m aware of.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most tobys represent an actual person or an occupation of a person. But he&#039;s one I can&#039;t figure out what he represents. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not much information but maybe I helped in some small way.</p><p>Dana[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
