Question:
I do not presently have a picture of the piece I am asking about but it has a number 5 on the face plus a picture of the "redwing" plus "union" and the stoneware jug is approximately 20" high in perfect condition. The top of the jug is a lighter color that the bottom. Can you tell me anything about this piece? Susan

 

Answer: Susan, the answer to your question is a tough one with the amount of information that you gave me. The jug could be a Red Wing beehive jug (1909 to 1917) or a Red Wing Shoulder jug (1917 to 1947). I really need a photo of the jug to help you out on this one. Al Kohlman
