Question: 
Hello!

Could you please give me some information on these crocks?

They are 8″ tall and 7″ in diameter. The covers are wood. One of them is missing the ball on the top of the cover.

Thanks so much! I enjoy your website.

Carolyn

 

Answer:

Carolyn,  what you have are Red Wing Stoneware Steam Table jars that are bottom signed.  These jars were used in cafeterias to keep food warm while serving students, guess or visitors.   The lids are not original to the jars.  In perfect condition, the value is around $30 each.  Al Kohlman
