Killer Root Beer Mug!

[RIBottleguy]

It was another day of laboring at the giant town dump. Much to my dismay I didn't find a single good soda or milk, which is almost always guaranteed in this dump. We did have a spectacular cave in, with two boulders weighing a couple hundred pounds each leading the way. After three hours, I was about to call it a day, but decided to pick at a thin vein near the top of the dump. I uncovered some kind of pottery mug, and saw it had the handle attached. When I pulled it I almost fell over. It was a marked root beer mug!
It predated the rest of the dump by about 20 years. There was plaster inside it, so my guess is that someone reused it in their workshop for a while.

One of the big boulders, and the mug!

That is a killer! Is it from RI?

Hall & Lyon started in Mass, but they opened their main store in Providence, RI. It was advertised as the largest drug store building in the US. I'm going to say it's from RI.

That's a great mug, graphics are sharp! Glad the handle still intact. I got one, with much less effort , my daughter bought it at a estate sale, and brought it over! Ever find a Hall and Lyon root beer bottle?Good luck!
