Question:
I have two pots: yellow, 5" square, 5" tall, a leaf on two sides and a small handle on two sides. There is a RED Wing sticker on the side and the bottom says RED WING USA #81404. On one of the pots is a sticker that says RED WING POTTERIES, INC., OPS SEC 43 CPR 7 PRICE $ and the actual price is missing. When was it made and what is the value? Thanks Amy
Answer: Hi Amy
this is shape B1404, from 1951. Value is around 25.00 each. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I would like some info on the 50 gallon Redwing crock with lid. The crock has no cracks except some small spiderweb cracks around the drain hole in bottom. There is also an over flow hole at the top of crock. I don’t know if the hole is orginal or not. The Redwing on the crock is almost faded away. The lid has a hump on the rim. It looks like it was done when made. Any info and estimate of value etc. would be appreciated. Bill

Question:
I have a plain jug with a smaller blue number 5 and nothing else on it. It is quite large and I believe the 5 is for 5 gal and it is the normal stoneware color. Is it a Red wing? Gaylene
Additional info:
I sent in a question – not answered as of yet but I forgot to say that the number 5 is below the rim as if the wing and the rest was left off and I have never seen that before- the 5 is also open as if fancier- by that I mean not a solid 5. Thanks for your help

We have a redwing crock selling at public auction on August 29, 2010 in Baker, Montana . I have been doing auctions a long time and have never run into a crock such as this. It does have a crack in the lid and a few chips around the outside but nothing major. Just curious about this piece and what its purpose was. If its something collectors would like. Thank you in advance. JK

This jug is 7" across the bottom, 8" high, and 6" across the top. It’s in excellent condition, I’m not sure how old it is, or if it’s worth anything to a collector. There is a stamp on the side which is hard to read, but I think it says: Safety Valve May 21, 1886 Tracey
