Question:
Hi Al, I have a 5 gallon shoulder jug with the 4" redwing and an usual upside down blue oval makers mark. The jug has a linear scar near its shoulder which apppears to have happened in the kiln when it was fired. Can you give me a ballpark value of the jug in its present condition? Thanks, Mike

 

Answer: Mike, as I see your Red Wing 5 gallon shoulder jug with the upside down oval. $75 to $90. You could hit the $90 if the jug can be cleaned at the bottom. If not, I am afraid $75 will be it’s best. Al Kohlman
