1 GAL. slug plate jug

[cobaltbot]

Mother's Day weekend was also good for yardsales, and even though it rained Saturday morning it was still a good time to go as it keeps the crowds down and you definitely want to hit those indoor church ones. I've never dug or bought a slugplate jug so I talked this one down to $6 from $8 dollars. I will pick up the plain ones out in the woods if they are SCA, some of the older one's are kinda crude. I got the 5 cent halfpint milk for $1. The slugplate reads PHONE AND MAIL ORDERS A SPECIALTY/ John J. Finn WINES AND LIQUORS/ HARRISBURG, PA. and 1 GAL. up on the neck. It's clear but has just a bit of manganeze in it.

Thanks guys[] Whatever happened to all those slugplates?

I've wondered the same thing about the old slug plates. I have seen a few of them posted here on the forum, but they are certainly something that does not appear often. Most of them were probably junked for scrap iron after their use was discontinued by the bottle maker. ~Jim
