6, 12, 2 gallon crocks

Question:
I have several crocks that have been passed down through the family. I would like to have some idea of what they’re worth. I have a 6, 12,10 & 2 gal crock. They have the red wing label on the front and on the side it has patened mark of 1915. They also have handles on them. I would like a general idea of their value. Thanks for your help. Pat Meredith
