Red Wing made some pieces of advertising that did not have the text contained in a box or an oval, but that is unusual. The fact that it is from a Philadelphia company that seems to be a local, rather than national firm makes in all the less likely. Without a signature the best that you can do is compare it to known Red Wing pieces. In this case it already has two strikes against it being Red Wing, but what about the shape? Red Wing's jug tops are somewhat distinctive, if not unique, even though there are several varieties. See page 109 of Red Wing Potters & Their Wares for a study of some of them.
