Holy f'ing crap Jim!

Upon reading the title i figured that "EXPLOSION" may have been an excited embellishment, but it's a damn understatement! That is unreal. I'm curious to see how you manage to display all those, haha. I think you will need more than a few of those wooden mantles to get the job done. []

So how many different stoneware pieces did you have before this? And are there any examples of note in this load that you are particularly excited about?

Sweet sufferin succotash! Well I guess you're now the Paterson stoneware guru! I can't believe how many of the jugs are handwritten. I think I've only seen one like that from RI. Are the stone beers from Paterson too?

I have about 20-25, so there are gonna be a few I need to sort out and decide which example is best and which will be traded or sold. I want to display them all on one wall if possible with the 5 gallons on the bottom and going smaller as I go up. A nicely designed shelf system with good lighting will be crucial.

The two handled Garrison's Sweet Cider jug with original wooden bung and tap is the shining star, there also a Garrison's Pure Apple Cider that will have the handle professionally reattached. There are also 4 or 5 'only known' examples and a few other strange jugs that need research because there are no records of the merchants named, but I will love them all equally...[]
