<p>[QUOTE="DanaB, post: 1955026, member: 10739"]Sorry, but yes clay would be cleaned and used but I do know more about tobys and character jugs as I have studied and collected tobys for over 40yrs. And yes there are fakes. There's always someone who thinks they know more than I do and I find it hard pressed to find that to be true unless I were to find a true collector which I never have. I'm planning a trip to the American Toby Museum this year and I will finally meet people who do know more than me! I don't claim to know everything but I know an aweful lot! I would not offer the advise I did if I didn't know what I was offering. This jug has many signs of being hand made. So if you have knowledge of toby or character jugs other than to offer that they don't sell for much, which you've stated before, then please add that information instead. Because what you've indicated implies that I have no knowledge at all. This is far from true. Tobys are my passion and I have spent a lifetime studying and searching every scrap of info I can find. I know very well what they can sell for. I see them all the time across the internet. And the older jugs get the bigger prices. Heck there are jugs that can go for over $1200! So I know what I'm talking about and if I didn't I would not offer advice. Maybe you should do the same when it comes to toby or character jugs! Its obvious you are not knowledgeable in this field.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
