Answer:

Mark,  your 3 gallon Red Wing crock was produced between 1909 & 1930.  Value in perfect condition is $60 to $70.  The 2 gallon Red Wing crock was produced between 1936 & 1947.  Value $40 to $50

The 3 crocks (2 with lids and one without a lid) and pitcher with a red wing are reproduction pieces.  No idea of value or history.

The 15 gallon with the large 6 inch wing was produce between 1909 & 1915.  Value is around $150 to $175.  The cracked 15 gallon Red Wing crock is a flower pot piece.  Maybe $30.

The churn with bird is a newer piece of pottery and not Red Wing.  No idea of value or history.  Al Kohlman
