Question:
I have recently found a nice butter crock, can you tell me more about it. It is not marked, but am sure it is red wing. Condition is excellent, 6" across and 4 1/2" tall. thanks

 

Answer: Your butter crock looks to be Red Wing. In the early 1900′s many of the dairies and creameries in the Midwest used advertising on these butter crocks to promote their butter. These advertising butter crocks are very desirable among collectors. Value on your butter crock …$275 to $375. Al Kohlman
