I think these are fairly late, say 1910 to 1930. Value is catch as catch can, but not more than $10-$15 each, if you can find a buyer.

I would like to know how you came to that value without knowing if the jug has any makers marks on them? I doubt they do but you should always ask before throwing a price out online.. so is there any type of makers marks on the jug? usually will be on bottom or bottom edge ,but could be around the handle also..

Nice pair of Jugs Okay I could not resist...Yep, any makers marks? Whiskey jugs...They are worth what someone would pay of course. But those are nice examples and the makers marks make all the difference. jgas

Thank you, 'creeper' for trying to keep me from falling into the embarrassing trap that you experienced recently:

I was so excited about your find ..I totally over looked a huge factor in pricing... Does you bottle have any embossing (writing in the glass) at all? anywhere on the bottle? after I stopped an actually looked at the bottle ..I am assuming it doesn't.. If that is the case then the bottle more then likely be alot less then I orginally thought...

The difference between our posts is that I considered all the likely value factors before I posted.

Some of these late stoneware jugs are identified with a manufacturer's logo - a transfer under glaze. Mostly, though, when the maker is identified by a transfer, the retailer is identified. No under-glaze stencil retailer label usually means no maker's mark. (Red Wing pottery crocks may be an exception, but I don't know if they made any of these late jugs.)

Call me too trusting, if you like, but I believe that 'flip' would have mentioned any marking on the jugs. Or, maybe you believe that 'flip' is totally naive.

But do show us some of your late (molded) stoneware jugs with a maker's mark that is not associated with a stencil retailer label.

hmmm... Makersmark.. Never thought to look for them.. Well, first off, I have no clue what they look like? Can someone post an example? I have 2 more that have names on them. One is a whiskey dealer and the other just someones name and town hand painted on it.

Thanks for the insight...

Ones with any kind of writing on them are worth more, and sometimes considerably more. jgas
