I have several old Red Wing crocks, all in very good condition with no
cracks.The smallest is for whipping cream.The next size has a “1” on the daisy cover but no marks on the crock itself One is marked 2; the other marked 3 – both with covers with the flower pattern on the covers. The biggest one is a 6. No cover but with handles. I use this one for a silk plant!
Two pictures attached. Can you tell me what these were probably used for and
their probable age? I remember my mother making pickles in #6. Also, what is their value?
Finally, what do people use them for today?
Thanks. Kathy
Answer:
Kathy, lets start by breaking down the pieces you have. If all are in perfect condition than here are the approximate values. The 6 gallon Red Wing crock has a value between $90 & $100. The 3 gallon crock $70 to $75. The 3 gallon lid, $125 to
$135. 2 gallon crock $60 to $70, 2 gallon lid $125, One gallon crock $25 to $30 & 1 gallon crock lid $90 to $100. The Red Wing beater jar $80. All of these crocks were used for canning or food storage. Today, some are used for canning and others basically display and collections. Hope this is helpful. Al Kohlman
