[PULLTABBY]

Wondering what this is ???
A possible age or date ???
what was it's use ???
I tried e-bay and a goggle search to no avail...
Is there some-where I can get any info on things of this sort ???
I know it's not a bottle but maybe someone here could be of some assistance....
No makers mark or does the crown thing with a number 2 GAL. the makers mark ??? looks like black ink
THANKS

rather than American gallons. Found this in Google

If you search using Richard A. Waite you will get more info on him. Looks like the jug dates between 1900-1919

Nice find!

Thanks Chris that really gets the ball rolling.
I'm trying to find out who what and where these jugs were made ???? And any production amounts if any ???
Is this crock one of a kind or were a Million of them made back then ??? Are there books on these type items or will I have to take it to a dealer...
THANKS
