Question:

I recently purchased this 3 Gallon Birch Leaf Jug. I was wondering if you could tell me the age of it and an estimate of it value?  It has a small chip on the bottom below the Union oval. Other then that the jug is perfect, no cracks or hairlines.

Thank you for your time,

Adam

Answer:

Adam, great looking Minnesota Stoneware 3 gallon birch leaf shoulder jug.  Wish that small chip was in the back.  Your jug was produced between 1900 & 1906. Value with that chip in the front, $100 to $125.  Al Kohlman
