Question:

Hi  - my name is Joy and I have a about nine Red Wing Crocks. I am interested in knowing the value of this 1 gallon crock. I bought it at a garage sale so do not have an history on it. The crock is in good condition for its age with only two dings as you will see in the pictures.  I am interested in knowing how to resell and where the market is for resale. I have tried ebay to no avail. Thank you - 

Joy

Answer:

Joy, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 1 gallon salt glazed crock which is bottom marked.  The crock was produced between 1883 & 1895.   Now there are a large number of these crocks around and with no decoration, most collectors either have one in their collection, or are not interested in them due to being a plain salt glazed crock.  With this being said and the two chips, the value is between $40 & $50.   Not sure of a good place to sell your crocks other then eBay, craigslist or the Red Wing classifies.  Al Kohlman
