Question:
My mother has a Redwing #20 Koverwate. I was wondering it’s value. I’ve been told it was to weight or press stuff in crock down??? Melissa

Answer: Melisa, yes the Red Wing Koverwates were used to hold meats and vegetables down under the brine’s during the canning process. A 20 gallon Red Wing Koverwate in perfect condition and nice markings can fetch up to $400. 20 gallon Koverwates are a little hard to find and therefore demand this kind of value. Al Kohlman
