Question:
Hello, I have a piece that is 16 1/2 " from (lenght)top to bottom and 15" (width)across the top. It is dated Dec.21st,1915. I did not clean it as of yet,don’t know if I should. Regards, Tony

 

Answer: Yes Tony, clean the crock! It can be cleaned with anything from dish washing detergent to paint stripper and you will not hurt it. Your crock was manufactured right around 1915 or shorty after. Value would be in the range of $150. Now get scrubbing and show that beauty off. Al Kohlman
