Humpty Dumpty update...

It was a popular motif used on cookie jars and mugs.  eBay has several for
sale.  Mugs advertised come in rose, amber/brown, clear glass and have humpty on
one side and "Tom, Tom the Piper's Son" on the other.  One eBay-er noted that
a mug was illustrated in Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass.  We found "our" mug
on a circa late 1920s-early 1930s village dump.  We also had a nursery rhyme
ceramic plate on site.

As always, thanks for all the input.
