    Description

    Lovely late 1800's souvenir from Atlantic City with a view of the New Boardwalk.  Background is a pale seafoam green with cream and gold accents.  The Boardwalk was first built in 1870.
    A storm in 1884 was the cause for a third boardwalk to be built, twenty-feet wide, two miles long, and this time with pilings five feet above the beach so the tides could wash safely underneath.
    Th
    is jug will probably date to after 1884 construction.
    Safety was not exactly the first thing you thought of when it came to the Boardwalk.  At the beginning there were no railings, and accounts told of at least somebody every day falling off the boards, usually in the act of flirting.  Notice that the pitcher's decal has side railings.
    Condition:
    Very Good giftable condition. Only notable issue: gold paint wear on top trim and image surround (more pronounced on top rim).  Decal image in very good condition, with no loss or scratches.  No crazing or discoloration. Paint intact without erosion. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks, hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. Don't feel anything amiss when I run finger around edges.
    Dimensions: 6" Tall x 3.5” Wide x 7” Deep.
    Unpacked weight: 13 oz.

    Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others.
