Question:
Please assist in dating and guesstimate-valuing my inherited Red Wing stoneware crock. Please see images attached. It has a blue "ski" oval 2 7/8" wide, a red wing approximately 4" long. It is in good condition & has been kept clean always. Thank you so much for your assistance! — Alice, St. Louis Park, MN

Answer: Alice, I would estimate a 1912 to 1915 date of manufacture on your Red Wing 2 gallon crock with ski oval. In Mint condition I have sold these ski oval crocks for $125. Looking at yours, I wouldn’t sell it for anything less. These ski oval 2 gallon wing crocks are somewhat tough to find. Yours has nice markings, decorations are balanced and stenciling looks clean. Nice piece! Al Kohlman
