Question:
I am wondering what the value is of a five gallon jug that has a blue Purex label with the address of the Purex Co. in it, and the Red wing logo is not a wing but in a blue oval. The jug is light colored on the bottom and brown cone shaped on the top part. My description isn’t too good, but maybe you will have an idea what I’m talking about. Thanks so much. Nell

Answer:
Nell, Your Red Wing Potteries jug has the purex label printed in an octagon style outline. I do see a fair number of these advertising jugs come up for sale. They range from $225 to $300 depending on condition and how nice, dark and clear the advertising is. Al Kohlman
