Guesstimate on value ?

[Szyszka2]

This was from place in Detroit, Michigan. Farrand, Williams & Clark's wholesale druggists, 32 Woodward in Detroit, fire burned down the building Feb. 16, 1894, I know the crack depreciates the value.

Wow. Nice jug. Wholesale Druggist jugs are very nice. It is hard to tell the size but I would pay roughly $100 with that crack if I was from The Detroit area

Nice jug. Hemi will probably be able to tell you something.

A hard to find jugs value is less affected by damage than a common jug. I don't know how rare this particular jug is. I see cracked jugs auction for over $200-400. Frequently.

I've seen a few of these around in different shapes & sizes but no expert on Detroit Jugs even though I have a couple. I'm going to guess $100-$150 not cracked. Maybe $50 cracked but just my ameture guesstimate, others opinions may vary? LEON.


P.S. How tall is it or how many gallons?

Looks like a half gallon.
