Question:
I have a butter churn that was my Grandmothers. It has a number 5 on the top. The logo in the middle says……
Red Wing
Union Stoneware
Co.
Red Wing, Minn.
There is a circle around that logo.
The Red Wing is at the bottom of the churn.
The condition is not that great. It has been broken in three pieces, and glued. But the surface is good. I’m not looking for a price of worth so much, mostly the history of how old it is. I do thank you for you information about this piece. Thank you Terry
Answer: Terry, your grandmother’s Red Wing 5 gallon butter churn was manufactured somewhere between 1909 and 1930. If I had a photo of the oval and I could better date your grandmother’s churn. Al Kohlman
