Question:

I recently came across a 5 gallon Union Stoneware Churn with the ski oval that is double stamped on 2 opposite sides.  One side includes the number 5, two birch
leaves and the ski oval.  The opposite side includes the number 5 and two birch leaves, but no ski oval.  The churn does not have a lid and also has no cracks or chips.  It is also not bottom marked.  I am wondering on the value of the churn.

Thanks so much for your help.

Answer: Vicky, much of the value will depend on how well it is
marked as well as being in perfect condition.  If the markings are dark
and well defined, the value on your 5 gallon Red Wing birchleaf churn could be
any where from $650 to $1000.  Without seeing the piece, I must leave
some room for flaws, decorations & details.  Al Kohlman
