Whiskey jug need info

[freddy78]

Bought this at a yard sale for next to nothing and was wondering if anyone could help me with the date. It's 10 1/2" tall and 6 1/2" at the base

Hey Freddy,

I don't think that flash is doing the color / texture on this jug any favors. Can we see it in natural light, with base and top views please. Let see the handle base, too, please.

Hope these are more helpful

Hey Freddy,

What capacity is it? It looks larger in these last photos. Is it a three color glaze, then? Am I seeing a mark near the base in the above photo?

 

[freddy78]

I would say it's a gallon and the mark is a spot where the glaze is rough

You should go back where you got it from and ask those folks where they got it from and go from there. Research, research and more research my friend.
