12 O’Clock High – Toby Mug
The toby jug is an exact replica of the original movie prop use in Twentieth Century Fox’s 1949 hit, Twelve O’clock High, starring Gregory Peck and Dean Jagger.

The film begins in 1949, as American attorney Harvey Stovall spots a familiar toby jug in an English antique shop. He buys it, boards a train and then bicycles to the abandoned airbase at Archbury where he served in World War II. The film then flashes back to 1942.
And the significance of the Robin Hood toby mug? Usually it sets on the mantle in the officers’ club, face to the wall; whenever there’s a mission the mug is turned face out. “Not again!” an officer mutters when he is confronted by the face.
