3 gallon Red Wing Crock

Question:
Any idea of the value of these three items. I inherited these some time back, they were owned by my Mothers family for years and sat in cellar. I just don’t know enough about them. Thank you for your time. All three have different marks, two are of slight variation. On one the line ends under the "E" in Red Wing and the the other the line ends just under the "R". And the other seems to be entirely different, maybe a different time period? All in very good to excellent condition. Thank Van

4 gallon 6 inch wing shoulder jug

Question:
Follow-up to 4 Gallon Wing Only Shoulder Jug Thank you for the response. The wing is 6". I have also found in the new RW Encyclopedia that there are only three pieces known that are under 5 gallons and with a six inch wing! This makes four and I am enjoying having a rare item but will probably sell it. Thanks again, no need to post this. ps while searching your site for info I am wondering what the "wing tips" images link is all about – did not open to view but descriptions are ?? Katy

Christmas Jug Follow up

Question:
Hi Al Kohlman, I submitted a question a few weeks ago about a Red Wing Christmas Jug 1882 and submitted a pic as well. (Please see old posts) I have more information for you. I was given this jug in 1972 by my wifes aunt in Chippewa Falls, WI. She was a very knowledgable collector and don’t think its a repo. I think you are right that is was an end of day piece. Also etched on the front is Kern Spring St. Peter MINN. The base inscript says "Red Wing Stoneware Co. Redwing Minnesota. It is very faint and glazed over and I have now included a photo of the base. Thanks, Jay

20 gallon double birch leave crock

Question:
What is the value of the 20 gallon Union crock pictured. Do the"double-double" leaves and off center oval add any value? The crock has a great ring… the crock has no chips but somehow a very very tight 6 inch hairline has developed. Should I do something to guard against the hairline growing? Thanks. Chuck
