Question about stoneware jug?

[bunchesofbottles]

This one isn't it but it's the same style, size, and color. The one I found has a handpainted 2 in blue in the place of this logo. Any info? Thanks in advance, Chris

They were very common by the turn of the century and held just about any liquid you can think of. Syrups, booze, vinegar, poisons, cider....whatever. The 2 stands for 2 gallons.....but you probably knew that. They sell for about $20.00 around here, unless they have some manufacturers product name on them, then they go higher depending on the writing. Sometimes you find them with colorful labels which always make them look better and adds value.
