are miniature Doult Toby Jugs valuable
Tinker Tailor set of eight
In the US they are called Toby jugs.
July 2008 I was in an antique shop in Saratoga, California and the price on the Mr. Pickwick Toby Mug was $220. I looked on eBay today and there is one mug from a dealer who states "book price" at $175 but has the mug listed at a "buy it now" price of $80 including the cost of shipping.
As with all antiques and collectibles: That depends. Here are the factors; for this category of objects, they apply across the board: • Supply and demand, • Desirabilty, • Condition, • The state of the economy. Of course, these can all be broken down, specifically by subject. As for Ridgeway Toby Jugs, another factor would be the character represented and the age of the RTJ. For the most part, they seem to go for between $50 and $100US, not a fortune but not a bad deal for a thriftstore find. If you provide more information, I can probably hone the price down further.
