This last one is not the actual jug that I can purchase I just posted a picture of this one to show you what it look like with the same design but the jug actually looks like the 5 gallon redwing one in picture one but it was a 2 1/2 gallon with no markings does anyone have an idea of value

Not shooting you down buddy but your candle stick isnt solid,most likely cement filled as they usually are.Still a nice grab.

yes, sorry. probably 85-90% of the weight is 50 year old epoxy.

polish it up and ebay it. you should get more than spot for it.

I've never seen any weighted silver from Mexico and almost all are handwrought individually crafted pieces. I believe the base is cupped and the piece is all silver.

Well I went back and I double checked and it is solid sterling silver the base of it is concaved and there is no seems as you would find on a weighted sterling silver and when you tap on it it sounds solid does not sound like it has plaster In it
Does anyone have an idea of the value on that last stoneware

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the phone app for TreasureNet.com

I would agree. Doesn't look like a weighted piece to me. Great find!

You could expect $100-150 on Ebay if the handle's there and there's no damage...
