This ceramic coffee mug was formerly the property of Mr. Bert Minshall, the captain of John Wayne’s personal boat The Wild Goose. Mr. Wayne often had these mugs custom-made to present as gifts to cast, crewmembers and friends upon completion of a film. Mr. Wayne presented this mug to Mr. Minshall after completing production on the motion picture “In Harm's Way” starring Kirk Douglas, Burgess Meredith, and Carroll O' Connor. The front of the mug has the "In Harm's Way" logo, and the back reads “Bert, From Duke”. The mug is in very good condition with some minor visible wear to the gold-leafed handle and a tiny chip as seen in the photo. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the costume house.
