Rare Scratch Whiskey Jugs from the California Wine Co. Lima Ohio


Presented here, three different brown glazed pottery scratch jugs, inscribed: From the California Wine Co., Lima Ohio.

I picked the center one up yesterday at the Columbus bottle show, courtesy of my friend Joe Hardin, who finds me good Lima items all the time. Thanks, Joe! Joe puts on the upcoming Wilmington Ohio Bottle Show, to be held on April 2nd, 2017. Info here: http://www.fohbc.org/shows/


I posted a little info about the California Wine Co. over on my blog: http://www.msdowantiques.com/2017/02/CaliforniaWineCo.html

  1. I have a similar but highly unusual California Wine Co. scratch jug as well. It is available to buy at the Summer 2023 Crocker Farm auction at https://www.crockerfarm.com/stoneware-auction/2023-08-04/lot-75/Unusual-California-Wine-Company-Advertising-Jug-Lima-Ohio/. Check it out!
