Question:
Hello! In the process of cleaning out my grandmother’s garage attic, I came across a 4G crock (pic attached). It very closely resembles the Red Wing crock; however, there are no markings and I have a few concerns. First, the handles do not appear to be in the correct position for a RW. In addition, the crock is a gray/blue color. I am certain this is old, as no one has dared go into the attic in nearly 50 years. The only chip is seen in the picture and there are no cracks. If this is not a Red Wing crock, would you have an idea of the maker? Thank you so much for your time. It is GREATLY appreciated! Jean Kennedy, Muskegon, MI Jean

Answer: Jean, your 4 gallon crock is not Red Wing. The style of the flower looks to be a Meade out of Ohio. I have seen this flower many times and it resembles the Maxfield out of Milwaukee, WI with it’s leaves. But that flower is a Meade. Anyway that is where I would place my bet. Al Kohlman
