I recently found a Half Gallon whiskey jug -- "C. Lacher", Vicksburg, Miss." This is a brown glazed jug with the information 'scratched' on. What I don't know is why the number "4" is etched on the label. I would appreciate any help. Please check out the photo. Mike
I collect Mississippi milk bottles and Mississippi whiskey jugs. I just acquired a Half Gallon 'scratch' whiskey jug -- "C. Lacher" from Vicksburg, MS. It has the number "4" on the label, but it is only a half gallon jug -- so, what does the "4" stand for?
