Question:
Seeking aprox. age and value of a LARGE red wing crock. GREAT conditon. Stands about 2 ft. high. 1 1/2ft. across. Perfect ornate blue 4 on front. Below that perfect red wing symbol. Below that perfect blue oval stamp saying name of company red wing minn. ect. Great condition. Light beigh to cream in color. No cover. Only 2 very slight not quite a chip on the very bottom edge when turned over. Tiny and like just a tiny slice off in maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch in size. My mom collected and has been gone for 22 years. My Dad at 98 years young passed this year and we are just going thru the cellar : )….No clue for sure of age but, its old as my mom collected. Did not purchase new. Can you give any advice of age, value, rarity, info of any kind? We want to keep it most likely as its something nice to represent her collection but, really wonder about it. Thanks in advance. I could send a photo if needed. I dont have one now but, could do that. Thanks, Denise

Answer: Denise, your mother has a 4 gallon Red Wing crock with what sounds like a 4 inch red wing. This crock was produced between 1909 & 1930. In today’s economy, the value is around $75. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
