Salt Glaze Jug

Question:
Hello again, I am really hoping to start collecting RW Salt Glaze Jugs and I think I am starting to learn the correct shape and other things to look for (thumb press on the handle). To me, this jug appears to be RW. It is a 3 gallon, no chips or cracks and appears to have the thumb mark on the handle. Is it RW and what would the value be? You are great by the way – Thanks for providing this service.
