John B. Caire & Co. Main St. Pokeepsie, NY jug

Question:
This Jug has an imprinted name of the potter, just below the neck (upper right of photo), which says "John B. Caire & Co, Main St, Pokeepsie, NY." Some research indicates Caire made pots from 1840-1852, when he died and his son a partner took over and used their names on the pots. The photo also reflects the finger prints of all 5-fingers. The jug has no chips or cracks, other than waht appears to be the join-line of the upper handle to the jug. Do you have any knowledge of John Caire, and of what the market value might be for this jug? Thanks Chris

5 and 3 gallon small wing crock

Question:
I have two red wing union stoneware crocks. One is a 5 with a small wing and the other is a three with a small wing. They were my Mother’s and are in good shape. I’m curious what they would sell for. I also have another crock that does not have a red wing onit, instead it has a 6 and a small hand painted crown with USA within it. It also has a USA imprinted in the pottery on the bottom. Do you know what that would be worth or anything about it? Thanks. Larry
