Circa 1912 Fenway Park Beer Jug
<p>Fenway Park first opened in 1912 and has since become one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world. There are numerous distinguishing characteristics, chief among them the dark green hue that is present throughout, which gives its name to the "Green Monster," a massive wall in left field that is another defining feature. In addition to its trademark color and hulking wall, the stadium is known for "The Triangle," "Pesky's Pole," and its intimate, bandbox feel. It is now the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball and in 2012, as part of its centennial celebration, was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This beautifully glazed pottery jug comes from Fenway's infancy, when the Boston Red Sox made their own beer. It is in fantastic condition, complete with its original cork, and imprinted on the front is "Fenway Breweries Co. Boston, Mass." This is one of only two of these jugs we have ever seen, and the other we encountered was 30 years ago. It stands 9" tall and weighs 3.5 lbs. This exceptionally rare item is an exquisite time capsule of one of the great shrines of baseball and sports at large.</p><p>Note: There is no hard evidence that the Red Sox owned this company but it is from the neighborhood and the connection on some level (they share the area name) is obvious. </p>
