Individual pics of the flasks that I needed from the group shot I posted yesterday, and a 1 gallon stoneware jug from James Bell that I got this morning...
James Bell was located at 103 Prospect St. from 1860-1869, then 105 Market St.1870-1895 when he passed away. After that the company became known as The Estate of James Bell and most likely operated by a family member from 1896-98, then it became known as The James Bell Co.located at 105 Market St. from 1899-1919, another location existed at 103 Prospect St. from 1918-19.
I already have this sloppy style script jug from him without the cobalt around the neck as you can see in the last pic, so it's nice to get the variant with that added touch.
I'm not much of a fan of these sloppily done scripts, I prefer when Fulper perfected the script style, but the only thing better than adding this jug would have been if it was a 1/2 gallon size, which may or may not exist.
