The Story
Red Dog arrived in 1994 with a bulldog, a Southern drawl from Tommy Lee Jones and the line "You are your own dog," and sold a million barrels in six months. This is the bar mirror from that first year: the diamond logo and "Uncommonly Smooth" ribbon screened on glass in a black wood frame, back-stamped by Beeco Mfg. of Chicago on November 10, 1994. Clean glass, a few scuffs on the frame, wire still on the back. The beer is gone; the dog looks fine. Pickup only.
