Question:
I picked up this churn at a flea market. Is it Red Wing, and from what time frame? And what would the approximate value be? It does have a small hairline near the top about 6" long on the upper left. Thank you

Answer: Your salt glaze piece is not a Red Wing churn. I could be a Red Wing or a Western Preserve jar. I would really need to see more of this piece to say for sure. The time frame it was made in would be anywhere from the late 1860′s to the early 1890′s. The 6" hairline would hurt the value. The value would be in the area of $125 to $150 regardless of who manufactured your jar. Al Kohlman
