Question:
I have a stone Jug that I found while hunting for antique bottles around1984. It has embossed on the shoulders “Wm RADAMS MICROBE KILLER” On the bottom it says ” Red Wing Stone Ware Co. At that time I found it I was aware of antique bottle that is quite valuable to bottle collectors. it has the same company name and a skeleton embossed on it. I also read some information on the company. It indicated that this company was only in existence for a short period of time as the particular medicine was some type of acid mixed with alcohol that killed more people then it cured.
I am trying to establish the value of the jugs, Years ago I saw another jug with the same company name on it but it was different in structure. Paul
Answer: Paul, the “Wm RADAMS MICROBE KILLER” bottom signed jug has a value between $300 & $350. al
