Title: Blue Jug
Post by: CuriousCollector on October 22, 2010, 07:48:54 AM

Another item from FIL's storage unit.  This one cleaned up nicely!  It's about 6.75" high, and has the numbers "234" hand-carved into the bottom.  There is a chip off the pouring spout's lip.  Any idea on value?  -- because if it's not too-too valuable, I want to use it to hold kitchen utensils.

My personal opinion is, with the chip in the pouring spout, to use it to hold your kitchen utensils.  If it had/has value, much was lost with the chip.

I agree, and a good suggestion passed on to Wdtanner. It should look nice on the dresser stuffed with whatever..

Yup chip on spout (not like having a flea bite on the bottom  ) value to collectors not much ----- unless it was brought over by the pilgrims!!  :D

Has a yellow ware appearance to it.
