Question:
Hello, My family runs a large soft drink company in New England called Polar Beverages. We have been around since 1882 and started with Mineral water and some Spirts. I’m a bit of a pack-rat so occasionaly people try to move something along. A large Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. Red Wing Minn. The number 15 in blue is at the top, next is a large red wing, and at the bottom red wing union. Below that is a plated ball valve like for hose on the side of a house. At the top 90% from the valve on the bottom is a make up valve. It’s not much different than a toilet water make up float. It is a traditional stonewear color, a light grey. the top cover has a wodden and metal handle in the center. Around the center of the cap has decorations like a flower. Thank you in advance for any information. Chris Crowley

Question:
We recently purchased this set of 3 mini jugs. They are all in good condition – no chips or cracks. They are 5 1/2" tall. They all have an applied decal on the front that says "Lin-Gal" and paper labels on the backs that say "Shaving Lotion," "After Shaving Lotion," and "Men’s Talc." Manufactured for Lin-Gal in Minneapolis, MN. Did Red Wing manufacture the jugs? If so, what do you think their value is? Thanks!

Question:
I have these two lids that I had thought to be Red Wing, but now I’m not sure. Based on the "ring" where the glaze was scraped off prior to firing, I’m guessing they are from the same company. Can you tell me anything about them, please? The small one (with a 3 on the knob) fits perfectly on the 2 gallon crock shown, but is a slightly different color/glaze. So apparently they are two different manufacturers. It has an overall diameter of 9.25 inches. The large lid (with an 8 on the knob)has an overall diameter of 14 inches.
