    Obviously, this is a replica of British Open claret jug. My doubt is, however, when they were produced - the new ones that I see online have much less likeness, and also what is the material. Pewter? There is a mark on the handle I can't read.

    Hi April, really neat jug!! I've enlarged the mark on the handle but it's still unclear as you will see.....YOU may do better on the small letters around the edge of the "circle" with a loupe than I can see......the larger 'I THINK' looks like a 5 than either a messed up M or a combined DM mushed together....just don't know....but there appears to be something printed small to the left of the "5".....IF that's a '5' !! I just don't know about the strange curly-qs on the bottom of the "M".....

    I look forward to any ideas. Does anyone know about golf here?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    @Aquitaine , you did such a good job with the mark that I thought I'd reply to bump this farther up. :)

    Take photos of underside to get age estimate. So far looks like 1970’s or later to me.
