Status: offline 		My digging partner picked this up at a local flea and asked me to see if anyone on here can provide a possible value. He guesses it's between 1890-1910. It's got a 'harp' on the front... I'm pointing this out as many of you may not notice this at first glance!

I'm actually a freckle girl, Lobey - And a face without freckles is like a sky without stars.

Status: offline 		I was going to say that about the arm too Kate lol!  Nice jug!  It's really cool looking!  Funny you mentioned freckles.  After I had my tonsils out as a kid and was still asleep, my Mom counted every freckle on my face.  I forget what the total was, maybe a hundred something.  Just thinking about that now makes me tear up.  I was so nervous about the operation!

I believe the Norse invaded Ireland and brought the fair skin/ red hair/ freckles.  Something like that!

That's nothing! Actually, they have faded a lot on my face - they're not as noticable as when I was a kid - but my arms are still very freckled.
I still have my tonsils - I used to want to get them out when I was a kid because when my cousin had them out, he got to eat lots of ice cream and he could swallow a potato chip whole. Why I wanted to be able to do that, I don't know.

Not only does it have a label but it is from a company that still exists! The name John Locke should also attract philosophy buffs (and the less commendable pop-culture buffs). I bet the presence of the label would make it particularly desirable, especially to the collectors from across the pond.

I have a question regarding your stated heritage, if you don't mind. Are you part Pennsylvania Deutsch, or Pennsylvania Deitsch? I know that a lot of people assume that "PA Dutch" means that they are descendants of people who came from what is now the Netherlands, but I believe that most "PA Dutch" are actually people of German descent (a case could be made for the people from the Netherlands being essentially germans by heritage anyway, though) and the assumption is due to the americanized/anglicized corruption of the native words. Not saying that you don't know this, not by any means, i'm just curious.

I am part Jap, Kraut, Dutch, Irish, English, Scottish, French, Slovak, Russian Jew, and probabably a few more slavic type peoples (It seems that we in america have forgotten the race of people who gave us the word "slave" in the first place, but that's a can of worms that I don't care to pull from the bottom of any lake!)

Not trying to nitpick, and I guess I shouldn't really ask about the heritage of someone I don't know and won't meet, but I wonder nonetheless. The USA in interesting in regards to the variagated ethnic backgrounds that many of us have. I doubt that anywhere else can claim such a diverse mix of peoples. I like it here, since almost everyone is a mutt too!

Out of curiosity I searched the "Irish industrial development association", and found something that can help date the jug more adequately:

quote:

Irish Industrial Development Association, (IIDA), an informal federation of local industrial development associations. The first was established in Cork in 1903; others subsequently emerged in major towns and cities such as Belfast, Dublin, Galway, and Derry. In 1906 the IIDa registered an Irish national trade mark, consisting of a Celtic motif inside a circle that contained the words Déanta in Éirinn (made in Ireland)


Since the jug's label bears the trademark, it can't possibly date from before 1906, so the age would probably be between 1906 and Prohibition. Probably doesn't help the value too much, but who knows.

quote:

by 1920 there were over 700 licensed users (of the trademark).



If the numbers within the Celtic motif trademark are in any way related to the numerical/chronological order of business registration, and the distillery was the 429th business to register out of  700 who had done so by 1920, then I highly doubt that the jug is from before 1910. Probably closer to 1915 than the optimistic 1890-1910 guesstimate.

The internet is pretty useful, eh?
