Question:
SIRS: I am presently working with the APBCA to update THE AMERICAN POISON BOOK. My "expertise" is in "KZ" Poisons (EMBALMING) and have various Pottery Jugs (1..3…5 Gallon) I am SEEKING Any and All HELP from RWCS Membership in this Task of Ducumenting/Cataloging such Stoneware…. Sincere Thanks! tom strickler tdstrickler@aol.com

 

Answer: Tom, if you could send me a photo of these jugs, I will see if I can help you out with them. Red Wing did produce 1 gallon advertising jugs that had "POISON" in the advertising (I had one of these jugs and have either sold it or it is packed away). These jugs were ordered by Companies which send the information to the Red Wing Stoneware Company with what was needed on their advertising or label. You can send the pictures to our busines office at director@redwingcollectors.org and Stacy Wegner, executive director, will forward them to me. Al Kohlman
