Question:
Hi Al I have a 4 gal jug with some unusual traits. First, it looks like it was double glazed (bottom then top) before the marking were put on and the rim between the body and the neck/shouder is glazed. The glaze at the top is a little lighter and you can see it all the way around the jug about where the 4 is stamped. Also,it has a ring cut in the neck about 1/2" from the top. Other than that in great condition. Anything you can tell me about it and the price? Thanks Dawn

Answer: Dawn, there is no rhyme or reason why Red Wing completely glazed one stoneware jug, then applied a glaze differently to another. I have seen them both ways. The only photo of your jug that I see is the top. So I do not know if there is a 2 7/8"wing or a 4 1/2" wing on its front. The value on a 4 1/2 in wing with excellent markings can fetch $125 to $150 and is an older jug (1917 to 1930). The 2 /12" wing was produced between 1930 & 1947 and would have value between $75 & $125. Hope this is what you were looking for. Al Kohlman
