Question: Hi
Al,

I just picked up this jug at an auction and was hoping that you would appraise
it for me. I went toe to toe with another bidder who really wanted it, but I
prevailed!

It is in excellent shape, but there are three minor chips on the outside of the
spout. The markings are very dark.  I acquired the crock a few months ago.
It has a small chip on the left handle, otherwise it is in excellent shape.

Thanks,

Andy

Answer: Andy, your 4 gallon S/A jug is a real beauty.  I don’t think either piece is Red Wing, but collectors who love S/A pieces either think they are or don’t care.  They just plain love them!  Value on your 4 gallon S/A Beehive.  $1500 to $1800.  The 4 gallon S/A crock $300 to $400.  Al Kohlman
