Question:
I have a 20 gallon Red Wing crock that was left in my garage when I moved into the house. It was 3 large stress cracks in it with a 2 1/2 inch chip on the rim. In the picture you’ll see that the previous owner placed some type of a chain around it. I’m hoping this isn’t holding it together – I don’t think it is but I’m not sure. Is this piece worth anything with this type of damage? Thank you.
