Question:
Al, thank you for your reply on the Reid, Murdoch crock being a pickle dispenser. We thought that from pictures on the site and from what we have read in books. My concern is the letters are stenciled with only one store locations, plus the handle where the hardware should go, runs horizontal not vertical like the ones on this site. Can you give me any in-site to these differences and how the hardware might have worked with this handle? There is nothing on the opposite side, like shown in the other pictures, that latch the lid down. Thanks for your time. Dale

Question:
I picked up this crock at a flea market in south eastern Indiana today. I have several Red Wing pieces at home (oval and red wing logo). I am curious if this piece is Red Wing. Could you tell me approximately how old it is? In your opinion, what price would this bring at a sale? It is in excellent condition with only a few very small knicks on the handles. There are no cracks. I’ve never seen one like this in Indiana…Bee Stings are everywhere, but nothing like this. Thank you for any information you are able to provide. Melissa
