Question:
this is the same piece and same question i just wanted to include another picture showing the bottom of the 1 gallon salt glaze jug, can you tell me how and where i view the answer to the question? this is the 1 gallon salt glaze jug

Answer: Craig, I had one of these bottom signed jugs years ago and sold it for $280. They say that this was an experimental jug, but that is the best I can tell you. They are hard to find, but for a collector, not that great to look at (no advertising or decoration). I am not sure if this is the one that was on eBay for $3500 or not, but did see that one. Value today as I see it $750 to $900 Rare piece, just not $3500 rare. Al Kohlman
