Question:
What is the value? 5 gallon stoneware jug, all all cream color. About 17 1/2" tall and 11 3/8" diameter. Blue numeral 5 above small red wing. Below that in blue is a horizontal oval, top line says RED WING, next line UNION, next line STONEWARE CO., below that a horizontal line, then RED WING, MINN. Several glaze holidays showing unglazed color underneath. One shallow crack about 5" long, maybe only in glaze. Not sure if I can send more than one picture — tried to send 3. Thank you. E. Mideke

Answer: E. Mideke, your 5 gallon Red Wing shoulder jug has a value between $40 & $50 with the hairline. With so many of these shoulder jugs produce, any damage and the value will drop quite quickly. Al Kohlman
