    Hi
    Did Calumet ever give away or sell a copper colored dog statue with the word Calumet on a plaque on it’s side? It is probably an advertising piece. I don’t know where it came from and I don’t think it was the baking company.
    If you have any information on this type of thing would you let me know.

    Hi Beth. I’m not sure about a dog statue. You might learn more by checking out the Copper Dog 150 website (http://copperdog150.com/).
