American Toby Jug Museum 

Puritan toby jug produced by Fitz and Floyd of Medford, Oregon, in 1993. Colonial soldiers, or Minutemen, were individual soldiers from throughout the Thirteen Colonies who could be ready to fight with only a minute's notice. These soldiers were volunteers and not formally organized. Instead, each of the colonies provided a separate militia and their efforts were therefore disjointed. This soldier is holding his musket in his left hand leaning on his shoulder, and a pipe in his right hand. A shock of ripe wheat sheaves forms the handle of the jug. The Puritan toby jug is a pair with the Puritan Lady toby jug.
