Jug Dig!

[jgas]

Went out and dug another privy and came up with my first full intact Jug. Got another one in the same pit too but the handle was broke. Not sure what the heck these were used for or who the name belongs to but it was a cool find. The name on the front is A. Mohn's & Co. Anyone collect these things? How much can these things go for? Found a pumpkinseed flask and the other one with Hannah & Hogg on it from Chicago. A few other keepers too. It was fun. The pit ran about 6 feet deep. Hope to go after another one soon. Hope you enjoy the pics. jgas

Maybe this is related to your jug - from 1896 South Bend directory-

Thanks for the replies guys. Hey Bramblefind, that has got to be it. The place where I found the jug is only a few blocks from where their place was located. That makes it a better find than I originally thought. Thanks for the info I really appreciate it. The Muessel guy was a brewer here in South Bend(Muessel brothers brewing co.) They were the precursor to the old Drewrys Beer. Thanks again. jgas
