American Toby Jug Museum 

Neil Armstrong character jug prototype modeled by Timothy Potts and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 2008 as the proposed 2009 Character Jug of the Year. Neil Alden Armstrong (1930-2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who, in 1969, became the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first spaceflight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module Eagle spacecraft. The Apollo 11 spaceship, moon, astronaut's helmet, and American flag form the handle of the jug.
