Question:

Here are a couple of neat pieces of Red Wing in my collection. 
The first two pictures(front & back) is a advertising pantry jar (I believe).  There is one little nick on the inside rim and it measures 6 1/2 in wide x 5 in high.  Can you tell me what size of a pantry jar this is and it’s approx value?
Picture #3 is a 4 & 5 gallon Minnesota Stoneware leaf crock.  Both are in almost perfect condition.  The 4 is bottom stamped but the 5 is not.  What is the approx value?
Picture #4 is a complete set of brown top wing jugs.  They are in great shape but the 1/2 gallon has some factory glaze imperfections.  There is also a perfect 5 gallon beehive jug in the pic.  What is approx value.
 
I would appreciate your input.
 
Thanks, Dru

Answer:

Dru, your advertising Red Wing pantry jar without the lid and small chip has a value between $400 & $500.  It is a 5 pounder and the Fennimore advertising is the most common found on this jar.  Your bottom signed 4 gallon leaf crock has a value between $500 & $550. The 5 gallon leaf crock has a value between $375 & 475.  That 4 leaf crock has a much stronger leaf than the 5 and is bottom signed to boot.  So this is why the higher value falls on the 4.  The set of winged brown tops is pretty standard.  1/2 gallon $200 ot $225, 1 gallon $200to $225 & 2 gallon $450.  They need to be dead mint and gorgeous to hit this value.  Lastly is the 5 gallon winged beehive.  These are down some.  In perfect condition $275 to $300.  Al Kohlman
