"Los
Angeles Brewing Co. - Los Angeles, California - 1572" on a 9" tall jug
by Mettlach. The base is imprinted with an "03" which indicates
the jug was manufactured in 1903. These jugs were was issued to
saloons for take out, much like the growlers of today and would have
required a deposit. The top of lid (right) is marked: “This jug is not for sale, it is the property of the Los Angeles Brewing Co. - Kuehnrich - Phone East 82. - U.S. Patent No. 572257.” This patent was issued on Dec. 1, 1896. "Kuenrich" refers to the president of the corporation, Paul Max Kuehnrich.
This jug is free of chips or cracks, which is commonly found on the lip and latch assembly. $375
NOTE: The last one of these jugs I saw for sale was March 2015 on eBay - it sold for $400.
