ceramic jug - 1/20/2012 11:58:58 AM    Ben   Posts: 154 Joined: 11/19/2011 From: Northern New York Status: offline Hey guys… went to a local guys shop the other day (he is kind of an antique dealer/collector/hoarder)… a nice old man with a lot of unique things, to include bottles… during our visit I told him about this jug and he told me he wanted it… I have no real attachments to it but also have no idea of value… seeing as I am just going to trade it to him for some of his bottles (he has some really sweet local stuff), I thought I should at least walk into the trade with some kind of clue as to value… any ideas? Thanks Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I can't help with the value or rarity either, but there are alot of Pa collectors here that should be able to help give you an idea. There are a couple of bank mini jugs from here in Missouri that are quite scarce and sought after. ~Tim _____________________________ ~ Always looking for colored pontiled sodas & Missouri bottles ~ Website: http://www.wix.com/chevelle_godsmack/bottlekid76 (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 3

But to be honest, I think it'd be closer to $100. Think about it, banks can't be very common... They were broken to get the monies out! Very niece piece, I'd love to find a local one. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
