Question:

Hi there,

Just wondering if you could tell me anything about the crock in the attached pictures ? It had a large chunk out of the rim and a crack in the bac. Jim

Answer:

Jim, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company salt glazed 6 gallon rib cage butter churn.  This churn was produced sometime between 1883 & 1894.  If it were in perfect condition, the value would be around $600.  In it’s present condition, maybe $30.   Al Kohlman
