Question:
Hi– I have two crocks that I’m hoping you can help me identify. They aren’t Red Wing, but I have NO idea what they are, so I have nowhere to start as far as determining value. I have attached a picture of the mark, which is the same on both, except one has a "1" and one has a "5". Can you help? Thanks! Stephanie

Answer: Stefanie, you have a 1 & 5 gallon crown crock. These crocks are manufactured in Ohio and the company is still in business today. Here in Wisconsin, we can go to a number of hardware stores and still purchase these crocks. Because they are still in business, these crocks have little to know value in the collectors eye except what they sell for in the hardware stores. Al Kohlman
