American Toby Jug Museum 

Tramp character jug produced by J. Fryer Limited of Tunstall, England, circa 1970 using its Oldcourt Ware tradename. A tramp is a person who has no home or job, and very little money. Tramps go from place to place, and get food or money by asking people or by doing casual work. Hypothermia is common among tramps sleeping outdoors. The stereotypical way for tramps and hobos alike to carry their belongings was to wrap a bunch of objects in a bedsheet or large kerchief, tie it to a stick and sling it over their shoulder. The bindle is the bag behind the back, together with the stick they make a bindle stick, which forms the handle of the jug.
