Question:
Red Wing Experts, I purchased this half gallon advertising jug last month in Grand Island, NE. I’m unable to find it in any of my Red Wing books. It has a very small base chip, but no cracks. It has some interesting mathmatical inventory(?) calculations which were scratched into the wet clay on the bottom of the jug. I paid $20.22. Could you please tell me if this is indeed a Red Wing jug and also what you think it might be worth? Thanks, Bret

 

Answer: Bret, I am quite sure your advertising jug is Red Wing. I would place the value between $275 & $300. You made a great purchase. Al Kohlman
