5 gallon medium wing churn with lid and dasher
Question:
I have a 5 gallon hand turned Red Wing butter churn with original lid and dasher. It has a 4" wing and a 2 1/4" oval that say Union Stoneware Co. It has a lot of brown specks on the outside and inside. They appear to be under the glaze. Are these like "turkey eyes" but just smaller? Does this add or decrease the value? Except for two tiny chips on the inside rim, they churn is almost mint. The lid has four small chips on the underside edge. Can you provide an approximate year it was made and a value. Thanks, Chris Hetrick

The churn is also in very nice shape and is bottom marked Minnesota Redwing Stoneware Co.

30 gallon crock
Question:
My great grandmother left her Red Wing 30 Gal. Crock to me and I feel like it has to be worth something. It is missing a handle and has a small hair crack. There is a green stamp by the handle to the right in the picture that dates 1915. I am trying to determine whether to use it for something or protect & save it for my kids. If it’s not to much trouble, could you share with me what it might be worth? Thank you.
