Question:
I have a 5 gallon Redwing water cooler. On the front there is "5" in blue; under that there is the words "Water Cooler" in blue with blue detailing above and below them. In the middle there is the Redwing symbol in red and under that there is an oval with the words "Hudson Stoneware Co. Red Wing, Minn". The crock has three blue lines on the body; two at the top and one at the bottom. The lid has one blue line around the handle; a petal design and a wider tan line towards the edge with another thin blue line right at the edge. The lid is broken but could be repaired. The spout is intact and does work, it has the original porcelain push button but it is brass and has turned green. The crock was orginally in the train depot of the small town I grew up in and then in the school in that town. I remember it being on a stand. I have a number of questions: 1. What can you tell me about it, when was it made, how can I tell what kind of glaze it on it etc. 2. Where can I find a lid and stand for it? 3. If I cannot find a lid, what type of glue can I use to repair the original one? 4. Should I clean up the spout or leave it alone and what should I use to clean it? 5. It would be nice to know an estimate of worth, however I do not intend to sell it. Thank you for any information you can give me. Anita Olson

Question:
I just purchased this #3 Minnesota stoneware oval, bottom marked, and very blue piece. The other outstanding feature is that one of the workers scribed some multiplication problem in the wet clay, which was glazed over. I was wondering what this might be worth, since the Minnesota oval is uncommon. The crock is in perfect condition, and the numbers scribed on do photograph. I hope its worth more than I paid for it….. Thanks Craig

Question:
Hi, I recently purchased this crock and I was hoping you may be able to tell me a little more about it and how much it may be worth. It appears in pretty good condition with normal wear. It measures 10 and 1/2 inches tall and 10 inches across the top. It has a cobalt blue marking on the front and something on the back that looks like numbers but they are hard to see. Thanks, Denise
