Question:
The third pot is also medium in size and a jug type design with brown on the top and ivory on the bottom. Again, the pot has no serial numbers, stamps, or other markings that I could find, but was always refered to as a Redwing Pot by my grandmother. It is in excellent condition as well. Gayle
Answer: Gayle from what I can see of your brown top jug it looks to be Red Wing. However, the Western Stoneware Company produced them as well. These jugs were made in the 1930′s and were known as vinegar jugs. You would take this jug to the grocery store and they would dispense vinegar in it for you. By doing this, you only needed to pay for the vinegar and not the container. Not being signed and no decoration or advertising, the value on these jugs is quite low. $10 to $15 Both the mold jugs and brown top jugs had the same use. Al Kohlman
