Question:
Can you tell me what a Red Wing 5 butter churn with a lid and wooden paddle is worth? THanks Lorraine

 

Answer: Lorraine, there is so much more that what a Red Wing butter churn is worth. It all depends on condition, the markings (how dark, balanced, rare and complete). So one price does not fit all. Looking at your 5 gallon Red Wing butter churn I can tell it was made before 1909. The decorations are not balance (which hurts the value), also the decorations are not extremely dark or fully printed (which hurts it’s value). However, you do have the lid (helps the value). If your churn is in perfect condition, the value today is around $150. Al Kohlman
