3 gallon brown top jug with birch leaf stamp

Question:
Hi , I bought this 3 gal. brown and white shoulder jug recently at auction thinking it might be of Redwing manufacture because of the birch leaf decoration. It seems it may be kind of a hybrid of Redwing and Plymouth Stoneware of Fort Dodge IA. It appears if info found is correct, the Plymouth company used the fleur de lis bracketed gallon designation and was bought out by Redwing which continued to use it for 1909 to 1910. My thoughts are that it may not be a very common Redwing decoration to still find because of the short time of use of this marking style. It is in great shape. Could you tell me if it is in fact likely a Redwing product and have an idea on approximate collector value. Thank You, Jeff
