10 gallon crock
Question:
Hello, I found a 10 gallon crock on the side of the road complete with a lid. The crock has a large #10 on it in blue along with the red wing under it as well as the red wing stone ware stamp beneath it. The crock has wire with wooden handles on it. The lid fits on top and has a flower with a short handle on the top along with a 10 stamped into one of the petals of the flower. The lid is chipped in two places which is why I believe it was on the side of the road. The crock however is in perfect condition. I was wondering where I could find more information on it because I’ve never seen one as large as this one and how much it was worth including the lid. Thanks. Mick

Red Wing USA 445-10
Question:
I purchased what appears to be a planter for $10.oo. It is white glazed on the outside with a scalloped edge aroung the upper 1/3 of the planter and glazed a pale green on the inside. The dimensions are 9 5/8 inches in height and 10 1/2 inches wide. The bottom is stamped Red Wing USA 445-10. The lettering appears to have been made by a stamp but it is imprinted into the bottom. I would describe the condition as very good. Thank you Michelle Schmitz-Bohrer

this is a flower pot, very popular design, and made for many years. Value is around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Red Wing Window Box Planter
Question:
I have this beautiful piece of Red Wing in a glorious deep crimson. I believe it is a planter(?) with a flat back and a curved front; approx. 14.5" long, 4" at widest point, and 4.5" deep. Age? Value? Location where it was made? Are there any other additional pieces in this series? Thank you!
Answer: Hello
yes, this is a window box planter, I think it dates to the fourties era. there should be a number on the bottom. It is a Red Wing item, made in Red Wing, Minnesota. I know of no other pieces to match it, altho, there are several others with the same glaze. Value is around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing Spongeware lid #7
Question:
I acquired what I believe to be a Red Wing Spongeware lid at an estate sale. It came with a #7 paneled sponge bowl but the lid itself is ribbed and just seems a little too small for the bowl. Any idea if this is a Red Wing lid and its value? Brad

5 gallon Red Wing Water cooler with lid
Question:
I have a five gallon Redwing Union Stoneware Water Cooler. I am suspicious of the lid. It is made in a rougher style, has a blue W and the #4 on it. The two blue paint stripes are like those found on Redwing products. There is a hairline crack which goes through the lib. Some chips on the underside of the lid. The spout is a pushbutton control not the butterfly spicket type. I would be pleased to know what the vaule might be and any history on the items. I received this when my mother passed but I have no idea where she got it. Thank you Pamela
