Michael,
 
On a completely different subject, do you have any information on a stoneware
pottery at Spring Hill, Hempstead Co., Arkansas, ca. 1850-1860, no known mark
nor is the name of the potter listed.
 
I recently saw an Albany slip jug impressed Alfred or Albert Tucker, Spring
Hill, and am wondering if this might be attributed to the Arkansas pottery.  It
doesn't look that old or particularly southern to me, but Ramsay is often off
with his dates.
 
There are other Spring Hills, of course, including one in Tennessee and several
in Pennsylvania.
 
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm using your cattle dip query to respond, as previous posts to your e-mail
address have bounced.
