Dear Sir,
I have a 1 gallon redwing funnel top all white with a mall red wing on the side.
I cannot find it in any of the books I have and so I suspect that it is rare.
Do you have any idea of the value?
Respectfully,
Dale
Answer:
Dale, you do indeed have a rare one here. My guess Red Wing stamped this 1 gallon shoulder jug in the same time period they placed the red wing on the 1/2, 1 & 2 gallon brown top vinegar jugs in the 1930′s. However, this is the first all white zinc glazed 1 gallon shoulder jug with a small red wing that I have seen. With this being said, it is hard for me to place a value on it as I do not have another to compare it to. It could very well hit a $1000 or even a little higher to the right collector. The one gallon brown top shoulder jug with the same size red wing is valued today at $175, but yours being all white is much rarer. Again, this is a guess on my part with no other one ever being sold to compare it to. Hope this helps some. Al Kohlman
