Question:
Hi- I have been searching for a crock similar to 1 that I have. It is a Large crock without molded handels but has an old metal strap around the top with wood handels. It has a Blue Number 12 (with curly type print) it has a red wing that is 6in measured diagonally and an oval logo that says Red Wing Union Stoneware Co Red Wing Minn Just wondering the approx value. Thank you Tami Kubiak Liberty Center Ohio

Answer: Tami, you have an older Red Wing Stoneware 12 gallon crock that was manufactured between 1900 and 1915. The old metal strap that is around the top with wood handles is not original and must have been applied by the owners. In mint condition your crock would have a value between $150 & 200. Any damage will greatly reduce it’s value. Al Kohlman
