Question:
I recently aquired a Redwing Crock from my Grandparents estate. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about it, like its purpose, approxamate age, and value if any. It is large about two to two and a half feet tall has no handles but has a lid with a simple scalloped design. The markings are on the side of the crock in a vertical row; the number 10 a redwing logo and then a stamp that says redwing stoneware redwing minnesota. There is a small imprinted number 5 on the rim of the crock. Those are all the markings I noticed. I will try to attatch some pictures as well. Thanks very much Krista Gately La Grande, OR

Answer: Krista, you have a 10 gallon Red Wing Stoneware crock that was manufactured between 1912 to 1915 or so. Value would be between $100 & $150 for just the crock. The lid would have a value between $175 & $200. Values are for pieces in perfect condition. Al Kohlman
