Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 3 Gallon Crock made and stamped by the "Athens Potery, N.Y."  (someone forgot the second t in Pottery)
 
This is the mark of Thomas and Edward Ryan who operated the old Clark pottery from 1892 to around 1899 (William Ketchum, Jr., Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900, p. 139).
