I have an 8 gallon glazed crock. No cracks, but it does have a chip off the bottom about 3 inches in length at the edge. Date: "patented Dec. 1915 "
Any idea when this was made? Or if there is any value. Thank you for your help. Appreciate this web site.
Sorry, I do not have a photo if you need one, but I am sure that I can find a digital camera if needed.
Thanks Barbara Y.
Answer:
Barb, my best guess is that the Red Wing on your crock is 4 1/2 " long from it’s longest points. If this is the case, your crock was manufactured between 1915 & 1930. If the wing is 2 7/8 " long it was made after 1930. The larger the wing, the greater the value. A 3 " chip will reduce the value of your crock. With the chip I would estimate a value of $50 to $75.
