The jug was made in St Kilda Victoria by Platers Pty Ltd and purchased in either the late 1930s or the 1940s for use at the Ye Old Narrogin Inn when it was owned by Mr and Mrs W. Gaynor and leased by John and Myra Kerby. It is possible that the jug was purchased in 1938 when the hotel underwent a major renovation and was modernised. The jug was acquired by Stan Gregory in the 1960s when he was working at the Narrogin Inn. The jug was used in the Inn's dining room.
