Old Dexter Distilling,Co 1gal. jug
Howdy I know this is an old post I'm replying to, but I was wondering if there is a name for the brownish pattern of color on the top of the jug and handle? I have a similar stoneware jug with that same thing on it, and I was wondering what it is? Any help would be appreciated! John- optivo1981

What is it?
Found this thing recently. Anyone have any idea what it is? the wire rim seems to clamp around the bottom of the bottle to hold it upside down? The seem doesn't seem to go all the way through to the lip. I'm guessing the galvanized chain was added at a later date? The bottle is all one piece...- optivo1981

Help with Ball Special
Howdy all, I have a little pint size Ball Special jar. Pretty sure it's 301-5 or 301-6 unless I'm totally off my mark. The only problem is the differences seem to be one is more squatty, and one is less squatty? Does that mean like kinda gets wider down at the bottom or something? Also the 301-6...- optivo1981
