RCMP King's Crown Mug - Medalta Pottery

A beautiful beer mug c. 1940 with the cap badge of the RCMP on the front. The mug is mint and has no chips or wear. The badge likeness if most striking in gold.

The mug is produced by Medalta Potteries of Medicine Hat, Alberta. They existed from 1916 until 1954. During the thirties the suffered with the depression but had new life during WW2. See this link for an interesting history: http://www.stellarjonbeach.com/medalta-pottery.shtml

I suspect this mug was produced as a canteen item or perhaps special order by members.

I've never seen another.
