Question:

I bought a Redwing butter churn with a 6 on it at a rummage sale.  Is it safe to use for food?  Does it have a lead based glaze?  How much is it worth?  Thanks.

Answer:

Billy, your Red Wing 6 gallon butter churn is safe to use for food use.  It has a zinc glaze and no lead was used in its production. Value in perfect condition with lid is between $250 & $300.  Al Kohlman
