Plumbs

[Buffalo Hunter]

Ran up on this early crock and like the jug know nothing about the name or where to start. Nice early form. [attachment=1097c.jpg][attachment=Plumb.jpg][attachment=1097b.jpg]

[Buffalo Hunter]

Ever heard of the name?

I have, it's a fruit. The crock was maybe for storing them dried. That's my guess.Too bad they spelled it wrong or maybe it's some old English or other language.

What a nice piece, it practically has my name on it too, heh. Roughly how old would this thing be? 1810s-30s?

I would go with Plumbs here, probably from around the early 19th century.

Wouldn't that be 'prunes'?
