8 Gallon Wing Crock

Question:
I’m wondering if you can help me identify and value 3 of my crocks that I am thinking of selling. I know the 8 is a red wing, but it has a nice size chip, so I don’t know what the value would be. Then there is the one that is either a 2 or a 3, is that a red wing too? that one has a crack that I have shown that does go all the way through to the inside. Finally there is the 6 that I have no idea what it is. the crack on that one does not go all the way through. I bought them all like this years ago at a garage sale and haven’t done anything with them. Is there some care I should take so the cracks don’t get worse if I decide to keep them? Thank you for your time. Loreen
