3 gallon crock for pickles/saurkraut making
Question:
I recently purchased an antique 3 gallon crock. I intended to use this crock for making pickles or saurkraut. I noticed after I purchased it that it has some 1-2 milimeter diameter circles on the inside bottom of the crock where it appears that the enamel has worn off. Does this make the crock unsuitable for use with liquids? If so, is there any way to repair or replace the enamel so that it could be used again? Thank you very much for your help.—Kit

12 gallon Red wing Crock
Question:
We are wondering what you can tell us about this 12 gallon crock. Appears to be Red Wing with 4 1/8" wing, definitely under the glaze by my knife test. Stamped "Patented Dec. 21st, 1915 just to the right of left handle. Good condition with no cracks, handles intact. However, there is no evidence of the typical makers mark, just smooth, unblemished glaze under the wing. Any ideas about the missing mark? Brenda

White Rose Rye Whiskey Jug by the PJ Bowling Liquor Co.St. Paul Minn.
Question:
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me in my research about a pottery jug I picked up at an estate sale. From what little I could find my White Rose Rye Whiskey jug made by the P.J. Bowling Liquor Co. in St. Paul. Minn is made by the manufacturer who later became known as Red Wing. It is a little over 6" tall to the tip of the jug itself. There are a couple of cracks right above the lowest blue decorative band, but to me it looks like something that is more in the finish than something that goes all the way through. Do you have any idea of the history of this piece and the value? Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Cindy Johnston
