Albany Slip syrup jug

Question:
This dark brown jug is 9 1/2" tall, the bottom measures 7 1/4". The glazing is irregular under the handle so it lookes chipped but it is not. There is a tiny chip on the back side of the handle that can be seen in the photo. It has a spout. The bottom has glazing stripes and looks like the maker wiped it off after they finished painting it. I was wondering what you could tell me about my jug?

40,50, 60 Gallon Red wing Crock and lid fitting

Question:
I have a 40,50,60 Redwing crocs. Do the lids all have numbers on the lids that match the size of the crock? I have a lid with a 30 on it but way to big for the 30 crock. It fits the 60 perfect? also the 50 is clearly marked and fits fine. the 40 fits fine, but does not have the 40 on the Lid. I also bought a #30 that has 2 identical 30s and wings and stamps only 4inches apart. A mistake but I have never seen one with 2 and that close. Most are on opposite sides, not close together. Thanks for your help.
