Question:
I came accross these red wing crocks and I was wondering if I could get an estimated value on these 2 60 gallon Red Wing Pottery crocks. One of them has a hairline from the top that extends about half way down. The other seems not to have any hairlines but a few small pits. Both lids are not in as good of condition as the crocks however they are still in 1 piece. Both have hairlines but one of them has a hairline about halfway across so I’ve been extra careful with it. The spigots are still in good condition on each crock and after many years the inside nuts were easily removed by hand to clean the crocks. I am not aware of any repairs to the crocks or lids ever.

Answer: Kevin, the 60 gallon Red Wing crock with just the pits would have a value around $3000, the other with the hairline half way down, between $1000 & $1500. The damage lids will be a little lower. The one with the hairline half way across, about $500, the other $1000. Still good pieces. Al Kohlman
