20 gallon Union Stoneware Crock

Question:
We were wondering if you could help us identify the age & value of a Union Stoneware Co. 20 gal crock? Attached is a website with 9 pictures, so hopefully you can view. It even has the handprint of a worker embedded in the glaze as they picked it up before it was dry. You should be able to cut & paste this web page into your browser. Let me know if it doesn’t work.

20 gallon Sanitation Drain Jar

Question:
I have aquired a 20 gallon sanitation drain jar. The only thing on the crock is a number 20 in blue and a small square that says sanitation drain jar in blue. It has a metal stand it sits on the crock looks like a 20 gallon open crock exept it tappers to a drain or spout all of stone thus the reason it sits on a metal stand. Can you tell me is it red wing if it does not have the traditional red wing stamp. Also I am wondering an estimated value, it is in good shape and clean. In addition I was wondering what the item was used for. We are avid red wing collectors and have not seen this item before. THANK YOU Rebecca
