auchonvillerssomme Posted 27 August , 2008 Share Posted 27 August , 2008 Cnock thats brilliant. the handle and top are exactly the same as the piece I found at White City, unfortunayley it wasn't a big enough piece to include the SRD.

Gunner Bailey Posted 27 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 27 August , 2008 For Mick, Regards, Cnock Thats a great jar Cnock. Thanks for putting up the photos. I wonder if the SRDs were made for normal UK domestic wear and the diverted to the military at the last moment and stamped SRD?

Torrey McLean Posted 30 August , 2008 Share Posted 30 August , 2008 Hello, G.B. - I found my WWII jug, which I thought that I had traded off years ago. It's a 1-gal. jug with "S.R.D." printed under the glaze. On the bottom are the ink-stamped markings "1940" and in an oval, "JAMES PEARSON" over "LIMITED" over "CHESTERFIELD." Additionally, the letter "C" is impressed in the jug just beneath the "S.R.D." marking. Back in the 1980s I purchased five WWII-dated "SRD" jugs from a pottery vendor at a flea market in Raleigh, NC. [You can imagine my surprise to find them here in the US!] The vendor informed me that the jugs were included in a consignment of pottery that arrived from the UK. The latest dated jug was "1945" and the earliest was the "1940" jug that I still have. I also purchased a large 2-gal. jug that was included in the group, but it was undated and did not have any manufacturer's markings, and so I parted with it earlier this year.

Gunner Bailey Posted 2 September , 2008 Author Share Posted 2 September , 2008 Thanks Dave. However your timing is terrible. I've just come back from France and won't be back there until mid October, by which time it will be out of the shops.... GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 2 September , 2008 Share Posted 2 September , 2008 There was only one in Albert, so I bought it, I will look around ( I think they might sell it at Thiepval), otherwise I will send you this copy when I get back. There is also an excellent article about Arnhem. I will feedback when I have settled down and perused, although on first look not any new info but its nicely laid out with some great pictures.

Moston Posted 2 September , 2008 Share Posted 2 September , 2008 Word of caution when examining 'bottoms' of SRD jars. I recently turned an SRD jar over to read said 'bottom' in the Musee d'Abris shop (Albert) only to send about half a pint of black rancid sweet smelling sticky glupe slopping all over the floor! Try explaining that one in pidgeon French ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sheldon Posted 2 September , 2008 Share Posted 2 September , 2008 When this thread runs its course, is someone going to publish a definitive list? Might even make a story for the WFA magazine. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
