I got er all taped up with some elmers, easy clean up and dissolves in water when it comes time for a real repair! I'll post a pic of it once I get the tape off, it was worth saving...

Gotta love the bondo, works good for fixing old rusty bulkhead doors too... Why pay thousands for a new one when you can patch er up and add some flames down side! Well grandma wouldnt let me put the flames on there, but you know that war era mentality... $38.95... yahoo!

Thanks for the help everyone.

here she is all glued up, the cracks are still apparent of course but man does the elmers hold strong with this stuff. I know it is tougher then wood when used on wood but it holds this stuff like a monkeys mother! Thanks again Baltbottle.

thanks whiskeyman! I just had to go back for it, broke or not, it was worth it. Porbably one of my best stoneware finds ever, (that I just picked up off the ground at least)!

Hey Chris, I cant make it all out, but what I can see is "FRANK B. N*****" - "WORCESTER - *****" I'm guessing Mass., and I think the last name is Norton... and of course it is a 4 gallon...
