The churn is marked with a number 4, standard union oval with two birch leaves beneath the oval (all in blue ink) Looking for age, lid info and estimate of value if possible. Thanks!

5 gallon Jug found in Chicago
Question:
I recently came across a red wing product burried in a vaulted sidewalk in chicago. I have no idea how long it was there, but this is a very old section of Chicago. It is a white-ish stoneware jug with a loop for a handle that starts at the opening and has a slight curl to it where it connects to the jug. It has the red wings on it with the #5 above that. Under the wings there is a blue oval stamp/marking that says Red Wing (kind of like a company stamp. It does not look like the jugs on your website. The top is rounded but it has a lip/edge a quarter of the way down from the top. For being burried it is in good condition. there are no cracks and the bottom has a little chip in it. The coloring of all the stamps are still pretty vibrant. I am interested in knowing how old it is and what they are worth. Thank you

20 gallon large wing with ski oval
Question:
I would like to know the value of my 20 gallon crock. The wing measures 6" left to right and the oval is 2 7/8" and is known as the "ski oval" according to another website. My estimation of when it was made is between 1909-1914 going by all of the above measurements. There are no cracks and minimal if any chips/scratches. I would like to know how rare this piece is and what you think its value would be. I am unable to send a picture today, but can later if needed. Thanks.
