Question:

Hello,

I apologize if this message is coming to you in error, but this is the only address I could find on your site to send my question.  I have a few typical red wing crocks, and today, I came across a much smaller crock without the traditional red and blue trademark stamp on the side.  The bottom of the crock is stamped with Minnesota Stoneware Co. Red Wing  Min.  The crock itself stands 8 inches tall and the outer diameter is 8 1/4 inches (inside is 7 1/4″).  I have attached a couple of pictures in case it helps you provide me with any more information like size or year.

Thank you so much for your time.  I would not call myself a collector, but I have established a small collection of these things for someone who doesn’t claim to collect anything!

Happy Holidays and thank you!

Jody

Answer:

this is a one gallon bottom signed Minnesota Stoneware Company crock. Value is around $30 because of being bottom signed.  If it had decoration or advertising the value would be much greater. al
