Question: {mosimage}
I have a churn. 5 gallon, with cover. Has the 5 in blue, the redwing, and Union Stoneware stamp on front. Cover has 5&6 on it. What can you tell me about it and what is it worth. Thanks Kay

Answer:
Kay, your Red Wing 5 gallon churn was manufactured between 1915 and 1930. Before 1915 the wing size was usually 6 inches long from point to point. After 1930 the wing sizes were reduced to 2 7/8 inches. Your churn has the 4 1/2 inch wing which was the standard size for this time frame. If your churn & lid is in mint condition, I would place the value at $350 to $375. Al Kohlman
