Question:
Here is a another piece to a collection I found. It’s got a jug like top, with one chip you can see below the company marking. Can you tell me what it’s worth, and when it was made? I’m not a collector of pottery, just a one man storage operation. These were in a unit that was abandoned. Can you tell me where the best place to market these would be? If they have antique value….I’d like them in the hands of a collector. Thanks, Will

Answer: Will, you have a Red Wing 5 gallon shoulder jug. These shoulder jugs were produced in large numbers and their values reflect this. With the chip, the value would be in the neighborhood of $40 to $50 today. Al Kohlman
