Question:
I recently bought this at an antique fair in Sacramento, Ca. It is a 5 gallon brown bee hive type jug incised with a 5 as shown in the photograph. It is unsigned as far as I can tell but it does look like Albany slip type jugs that Red Wing used to make. Can you please help?

 

Answer: From the view of the jug I have here, it does look like at Red Wing 5 gallon Albany slip beehive. If I could see the back of the handle where it attaches to the jug, I could better answer the Red Wing question. Unsigned value is around $200 to $300 depending on condition. Al Kohlman
