15 gallon crock; no other markings

Question:
I don’t think this is a Red Wing Piece – but it was handed down to me with several RW crocks/jugs. There don’t appear to be any markings except for the "15" I was hoping someone might at least be able to tell me where it came from. Thanks! Jennifer

Red Wing Mini Jug – reproduction

Question:
Hi, I purchased a tiny 1 1/2" 5 gallon Red Wing Jug, the person in the antique store told me that this was old and that it was a salesmen’s sample. I have never come across anything like this one and wondered if it was authentic, if it REALLY was a salesmen’s sample and the value of this piece. In the tiny logo it says Red Wing on the top line, Union Stoneware in the middle, and Co. under that and Red Wing, Minn on the bottom. It appears to have the ski oval design. After looking at this further, I’m afraid that it is only a reproduction. Your expertise and info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your time. Shani
