Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 2 Gallon Jug made and stamped by the "Burger Bro's & Co., Rochester, N.Y." 
 
This is the mark of John Burger, Jr. and his brother, George, who ran the pottery with this stamp from 1867-1870 (William Ketchum, Jr., Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900, p. 379).
