Lador Musical Jug
By Mark Verplank

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I recently acquired a brown jug with Fatty Arbuckle's head on top of
the cork and the Katzenjammer Kids glued all along the bottom.
Underneath it has the Lador label. I think it plays "How Dry I Am," but
not sure, because it has stopped playing and I don't want to force it.

Its overall height is 8", base 4 1/2".  Maybe the Katzenjammer Kids
were glued on the bottom later.

I can't find any information on it, like its rarity or value.  I would
appreciate hearing from any Lador experts.

  [ When is a music box not a music box?  The late Phyllis Van Marter
  [ has written on Lador for the MBSI, and there are several collectors
  [ interested in Lador powder boxes and other Lador collectibles.
