Question:
The crock is very similiar to one shown on your site. Maybe a Minnesota? A single blue leaf and a 5. Faded. Assumming 5 gallons, small handles, fair condition, no other markings. I know nothing. Inherited. Do know it was from Grandparents candy store. Thank you for your time.

 

Answer: You have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 5 gallon Salt Glaze leaf crock. Your grandfather’s crock was manufactured sometime between 1883 & 1894. With the decorations being light, the value of this crock would be around $250. Al Kohlman
