Question:

Hi all! I am looking to sell this crock and have been told it is rare. However, many are appalled by my asking price. Can you help me get in the right range? There are a couple of small chips, but not a crack in it!

Thanks! Ashley

Answer:

Ashley, your 5 gallon elephant ear beehive with the Minnesota oval is a tough find.  If it were in perfect condition you would be looking at a $5000 or so.  However to a collector the chip in the front of your jug is huge.  It takes the value of your piece to half or little less.  $1800 to $2500.  Collectors want perfect pieces and shy away from damage such as this.  Al Kohlman
