Drove down to the big city to pick up the granddaughter for the weekend , decided to hit the Goodwill, up on the top shelf was this neglected jug ,looked like it came right out of the basement or garage. Spent a total of $5.37 with tax !!!!

Whoa, that turned up in a Goodwill? It's obviously a score, so congrats! Any ides of age? I found some references to B.K. Block & Company from the 1890s online, but that's about it. Let us know if you find out anything else about the age & company.

Very nice score, it cleaned up well. Congrats

 

[Trezurehunter]

What a great find. Everyone else probably left it because it was dirty. Looks at the way you cleaned that piece up. Great job.

 

[DeepseekerADS]

What a score! Congrats!

Now, when you gave it the spa treatment, just how did you clean it up? Might be of help for anyone here who just happens to find a similar jug

 

[thrillathahunt]

First of all, GREAT SCORE! Secondly, what is the spa treatment that cleaned up so nice? Where I am there must be a museum curator at the Goodwill store because all the vintage stuff is separated and put in a glass case in the auction area.

I love it. Way to go, Charlie!

Rickb2202, I don't have much info yet, but 1890-1892 are going to be good dates for it. When I know more I will update. Also this one is a half gallon , 9 1/4" h x 5 1/4" w

I hit the Arc also , have always hoped/dreamed of a local hutch or a bitters sitting on the shelf at one of the thrift stores, never thought it would be a jug !
