25 gallon large wing crock with handles

Question:
Hi Al, Can you give me an approximate year of production and value on this crock. It has a 6” wing.

It’s got a tiny chip on one of the molded handles where the wire enters the hole. On the inside bottom it’s got two very, very faint spider hairlines about 3 inches in diameter. Didn’t even notice them until I did a close inspection with a flashlight. Thanks, Chris
