BEWARE OF REPRODUCTIONS THAT ARE ON THE MARKET
This photographic presentation was recently modified to improve usability.
Slides were previously organized alphabetically by town. This approach
has been expanded to separate makers and dealers within towns, and list
them alphabetically within town sections. This should make it far easier to
search for a specific maker and dealer.
Includes Rarity Guide
Common (Com); Occasional (Occ); Rare (Rare)
Catalog numbers are used to document jugs in my 2009 book “Alabama
Advertising Jugs”
