History
Found in my fathers old shed, used to be a blacksmith shop back in the 1900s. Ive been told its a moonshine jug. I have a smaller one as well with no stamps or writing.
These jugs were used to hold anything from turpentine to whiskey right up until the 1930's , most like this eaxple date about 1880-1900 and sell at auction for about $75.00
