The lettering is blue and is a stencil or a stamp, not hand painted. would like to know approximatly the age and value of this piece Thank You..

Answer: Your 25 gallon Red Wing crock with birch leaves was manufactured sometime between 1895 and 1906. In mint condition with strong markings it would have a value between $300 & $350. Any damage will greatly reduce it’s value. Al Kohlman
