Question:
I recently purchased an old Red Wing #3 crock at a consignment shop for $90. The condition is good/very good with no cracks in or outside, but some minor chipping around the mouth of the crock. It’s decorations have good color, a 4" red wing and an oval that according to your webside dates it to 1917-1918. According to the consignment shop, the owner’s grandmother used to make pickles in it and that is our intended purpose. Could you please give me any info you have on this crock and it’s approximate value? Thanks! Brett

Answer: Brett, your 3 gallon Red Wing crock was produced between 1918 & 1930. Because the markings are so nice, I would place the value right at what you purchased it for: $90. Al Kohlman
