American Toby Jug Museum 

South American Joe large size toby jug produced by Shorter & Son of Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 1950. South American Jog is a derogatory term for Latin lovers in 1930s films who pressed their unwanted attentions on the heroine. They were distinguished by their Latin accents, heavily greased hair, thin moustaches, and smooth talk. "South American Joe" is also the title of a 1935 popular song by Cliff Friend and Irving Caesar, recorded by Harry Roy and his orchestra and by Bert Ambrose and his orchestra. The lyric of the Harry Roy version begins “Look out for your wife, look out for your girl.” A cactus forms the handle of the jug. This is the larger of two known sizes with the smaller size standing 5 1/2" tall.
