Dug a Jug - UPDATE-2

[Copperhead]

Got home from work today and had about a half hour to kill so I headed over to my bottle site and dug this jug....the bad news is the handle is broken off, googled the guy's name but didn't find anything...but I'm gonna check with the historical society in the town to see if they can provide any info...thanks for looking...

Re: Dug a Jug

Nice find. Sometimes those can still be worth a bunch even broken. I've seen jugs sell for over 10K broken.

Re: Dug a Jug

by the looks of that marble it appears to be an early peltier "miller machine" swirl..made in the late 20s- early 30s in ottawa ill. imho..the blow hole is a as made defect and does not effect the value much...and is a peltier trait...but its not mint maybe lower near mint....if its over 11/16 its really rare and the grey colors is also rare...all in all a truly rare example and most collectors would probably want it in their collection..maybe 40-60$ in that condiction...the miller macine is named after william miller the inventor of the machine and is a dating factor only...some used to be really pricey but the internet and ebay has really cut this type marbles values...nice find!!!!!

Re: Dug a Jug

Nice looking jug, copperhead. I did find this in regards to the name on the jug for a beer bottle - thought it might help:
Category Bottle
Pattern or Item Beer
Description Henry Bohn, Registered, Branford, Conn., 8-sided, Light Aqua, Blob Top, 9 In.
Website was kovels . com

Re: Dug a Jug

Even if you can't find the handle this is very easily restored by a professional. I had a crock restored that was a mess and you wouldn't believe how nice it came out. You can't tell where the restoration was done no matter how closely you look. I was really amazed.
