12 gallon Red Wing stoneware crock

Question:
It has a patent date of 12-31-1915. It is 16.5 inches in diameter and 17.5 inches tall. The original handles are present. The ‘ears’ of the handles are in tact. It is a 12 gallon crock. It reads ‘Red Wing Union Stoneware’…which I think means that it the pre-dates 1936 switchover to another name. Where can I go to sell something like this for some value. My Mom is knocking down her shed and she has this from her Mom (my Gram). Nobody in the family wants it but it is interesting on some level. Gerry

5 gallon Red Wing Shoulder Jug

Question:
Here is a another piece to a collection I found. It’s got a jug like top, with one chip you can see below the company marking. Can you tell me what it’s worth, and when it was made? I’m not a collector of pottery, just a one man storage operation. These were in a unit that was abandoned. Can you tell me where the best place to market these would be? If they have antique value….I’d like them in the hands of a collector. Thanks, Will

10 gallon Redwing crock with no cracks

Question:
Hello, I have a 10 gallon Redwing crock with no cracks and the 10, the wing and the oval are all aligned. the handles have the wire handles still on them and on one of the sides it says "Patent Pending". The inside is very clean and shiny with no cracks as well. Is this worth more since there is no patent date on the handle? Thank you. I can also submit photos if need be. I have someone who wants to give me $70.00 for it. Again thank you.. Greg

10 gallon red wing crock

Question:
I have a 10 gallon red wing crock and would like to know the value. I can provide pictures. It is in good shape and has the handles (minus the wood) and has the red wing and oval imprint underneath. I really don’t know if I should sell it or just keep it in the home. Ultimately if I need to sell it I want to give it to someone who won’t burn me and resell and I also don’t want to burn them. Just a fair deal on both ends would make me ok with the transaction. Greg
