Question:

Mr. Kohlman, 

I have two Red Wing crocks that I purchased over 25 years ago in Duluth, Minnesota.  I was wondering if you could tell me more about them and how much they are worth.  Thank you!

1. 20 lb Crock…the previous owner drilled a hole in the bottom so they could use it as a flower pot  It is 11.5″ across and 8″ high.

2.  It is 16 3/4″ high.

Answer:

Andrea, your Red Wing 20 lb crock was used to store butter.  Just a heart break to see that someone drilled  a hole in the bottom.  Without the hole, the value is around $800.  With the hole, $100 to $200 at best.  Your 5 gallon Red Wing is a butter churn.  Without the lid, the value is between $170 & $190.   Al Kohlman
