Question:
Is this a Red Wing churn? There are no marks other than the 6 and the design which is under the glaze. There is ,what looks like, ‘grease’ stain on the front. There are no chips or cracks. There is also no lid. Reid

Question:
I have a spittoon that I found in an old barn. It is not marked anywhere, so I’m not sure what it is. To me it looks like it could be made by Bennington, it kinda looks like their marbles. I am not an expert in this field. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you! Mark

Question:
I recently acquired an eight gallon butter churn that has all the appearances (decoration wise) to be a Minnesota Mfg’d. churn. When comparing the decoration to my Boysenberry 10 gallon crock and the pictures of stamped Boysenberry crocks in various Red Wing books, I’m guessing the decorator was most likely the same. When comparing the handles and coloration with my 10 gallon, they are similar. I’ve researched the churn in all the stoneware books I have and can’t find any Boysenberry churns. Do you think the churn is a Minnesota Boysenberry? If you need additional pictures, please let me know. Thanks! Larry

Question:
Al: When antiquing this week, I saw a 2-3 large, 5 and 6-gallon solid white Red Wing Jugs. Realizing that "condition" is everything to a collector, what is the general price range for these? And is there a big price difference between the 5 and the 6-gallon version? And, I’ve seen (I think) about a 2", and about a 4", and about a 6" Red Wing (how does that impact value, and what does that tell me about the era’s these were made)? Last question, does the "angled" oval on this one impact its value? Thanks.
