I just heard about this forum, from a guy from the Tresurenet forum, and he said you could help me, heres what i asked them and told them:
My father found this 8 or 9 years ago while living in MT, He siad all you could see was the brown part and cap sticking out of the ground, he thought that was all there was and that it had been broken off, well he pulled it out and it turned out to be a full not broken at all redwing jug (the eagle has red wings obviously) and it still has the original cap and all, when he brought it back from finding it we washed it out and out came this stuff looking like pulpie orange juice but smelt like paint, we thought it might be old moonshine, but we could't figure out what it was, we got offered after finding it around 200-300 dollars, but we turned it down, cause we thought it might be worth more, i got pics and all if u would like to try to figure how much its worth and where it came from, HH CS oh and the dimensions are: 7"in wide, 11 in tall, just for fun, the cork is 2 7/8 in tall, and thats it, thx

COINSNIPER, YOUR Redwing Jug is known as a "SHOULDER JUG". They were produced by Red Wing Stoneware in Minnesota. They were made in the colors of Brown/White (Such as yours) and Blue/White.They were produced as late as the 1930's. The Blue/White's are rare and are worth a considerable amount. It is also known as a "MINI JUG".
I recently saw one that was in really good shape that was 8 3/4" tall with a diameter of 5 3/4" and the spout opening was 1 1/2" and it sold for $450.00.
Your's should bring around $550.00 to $600.00 if it is in really good shape.
The fluid that you found to be in the Jug was Probably OLD WINE.
