Featured Odd Old Sealed Jug-Why ?

Here's a 3" jug I found yesterday that I bought mostly out of curiosity.It doesn't appear old,has an steel or copper fastener on the handle,and is extremely well sealed with wax.
It' heavy and feels full.
Can anyone guess why it's sealed & what may be inside-it was cheap & a fun,weird share.

 

Why, it's the elixir of eternal youth of course.

 

I can't say anything about the little jug, but the thing on the handle is a "hog ring". A specialized tool is used to close them in a hog's nose, (or around other things).

 

3"? That is very small. My first thought was a honey jug. I think they used to seal them with wax for shipping. But I don't know at 3"

 

Thanks for the info Pott.Any guesses to the jug age-looks newer to me.Maybe some modern Wiccan made it ?

 

looks like an oil jug a tourist might bring home from a vacation..

 

3 3/8" tall to be precise.

 

Some 'Holy Site' maybe,but don't they usually put decals,etc on those souvenirs.Maybe it was blessed by 'Il Papa'...or Sangreal ?
PS-You can tell I been trippin' over it (too much !).

 

Is the wax pattern on the side opposite the handle just a fancy dribble, or might it mean something?

 

show it to Crocker Farm.......

 

Can't discern any message/symbology in it.

 

Thanks Komo.

 

For the sake of the world don't open it.

 

Yep-I made the mistake of watching a couple of those ghost shows late last night,and put it out in the back yard !

 

Upholsterers use those more than hog farmers do.

 

Frankoma did similar in the 50's-60's, an' they were sold sealed in the same manner...full to the brim with honey far more flavorful than anything else on offer retail. I bought several for my family back then.

 

For yourself...an' all of us...DO open it!
If you live through the experience, let us know, eh?

 

More likely External Youth...Pop it open, smear it on yer body!

 

No Frankoma marks yet maybe they had a paper label.Still the upholstery/hog ring's weird ?
Could be honey to motivate your hog,or make him into a sofa.
