Question:
Hi, I recently came across a #10 Red Wing crock, photos of which are attached. The crock is in very good shape overall with rusting on the handles and some pit marks being the major problems. No cracks at all. The only usual thing (at least to me) is the addition of a imprint just below and before the right side handle which says, "patented December 21, 1915" Was this a common practice? Would you have an idea of the value? Thanks for looking. Tom Hess

Answer: Tom, your patented date of Dec 21st 1915 is found on all Red Wing Crocks with handles. That is what the patented date was for, the style of the Red Wing handles. In mint condition, your crock would have a value between $150 & $200. Al Kohlman
