Question:
My neighbor was moving and gave me this crock 10 years ago. On the crock, it says "Red Wing Union Stone Ware Company Red Wing Minn." and "Patented Dec. 21st, 1915". It has handles attached. My question is about the patent. Does patented mean that the crock was made that year and day or just that the style was patented that year? I would also be interested in what this particular crock is worth and how rare it is. Thank you! I love your website! P.S. I can’t tell if the website allows me to add multiple pictures. I have a picture of the front and a close up of the handles if you would like them. Please let me know. Jan
