20 gallon double birch leaf Union Stoneware Crock

Meysemboug’s bean pot
Question:
Just wondering if this is red wing and if so what type of crock is it and possible value? Do you know what type of business Meysembourg’s was? It is approximately 6 inches tall, the handle extends 3 inches from the top of the lid. I can’t find any chips but there are areas where the paint and shiny finish are gone. This piece of pottery does not seem flawless like pottery of today. Lorin and Susan

Hello again experts!! I have a question about (2) Two gallon coffee urn linings. One has "AMERICAN METALWARE COMPANY, CHICAGO ILL." advertising and one has "RED WING POTTERIES, CHICAGO" advertising (it is in circle) with what they call "a dipsy doodle" in the middle of the circle. I will send pictures if needed. Both are in excellent condition. I purchased them for about $60.00 each at a RWCS Convention Show and Sale a few years back. Are they worth much more?
