Question:
value of a redwing kraut weight , has a # 3 insude and it says redwing union stoneware Co Red Wing , Minnesota on the side . It is glazed and has no chips or cracks that I can see. This was used by my father with a 20 gal crock to make Kraut, It was in an old outbuilding on property my parents bought in 1955, so I have no idea how old it is but would like to know the value. Connie

Answer: Connie, the Red Wing 3 gallon Koverwate is one of the tough ones to find and therefore the value reflects it. $400 to $450 if in perfect condition. Koverwates were produced in the 1920′s and into the 1930′s. Al Kohlman
