Question:
I have a damaged Red Wing Ko-Rec Feeder top made by the Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. in Minneapolis. It has hairline factures and a piece broken on the bottom front, as well as on the bottom back. However, unlike others I have seen on the Internet, this top states, "Pat. Applied For" rather than the number itself. Is this of any significance and what is the value of this piece? I did not include the base in the photo as it appears to be a substitute replacement. Thank you.

Question:
My husband inherited what we think to be a Red Wing cookie jar. We’ve seen a similar one on ebay, and it states it was a premium for the Pillsbury Co. Because we were born in MN, it has special meaning for us. It is in the shape of the Round Up and Bob White style, having 2 ‘handles’. It is a mauve/pink color. On it is the embossed phrase, "Happy the children wherever they are who live in a house with a full cookie jar." It has a shiny glaze with small brownish flecks in it. No apparent markings are on the bottom, but there are 3 small round marks, evenly spaced on the bottom (perhaps where it was set during the process?) The embossed vines are not colored, the piece is all the same mauve/pinkish color. Unfortunately, one of our kids broke the lid when he was stationed in Korea for a year. I hot-glued it, and over the course of several more moves, it’s falling apart. I have searched for a replacement lid to no avail. Any hints on where to find one, as well as confirmation that this is a Red Wing piece would be great. We’re not concerned about value, since it was his grandmother’s, it’s priceless. I’d love to surprise him with a new lid, since he has such wonderful memories of his grandmother using this special jar! I apologize for not attaching a picture, as our camera has broken (not the kids this time :) Thanks for any help, Kris Trombley (a military wife)
