10 gallon Red Wing Crock and 8 gallon with crown decoration

Question:
I have a 10 gallon Red Wing crock. It has the larger wing and the wire handles with wooden grips. One of the wooden grips is missing but wire handle is still there. No cracks but small chip in inside upper rim. Dated Dec. 21, 1915. I’m wondering about it’s value. I also just acquired an 8 gallon Crown crock in excellent condition. No cracks or chips. The interior is very dark. I’m not sure if it is blue, black, or purple. Can’t find any dates or markings other than the U.S.A. in the crown. Thank you Barb

Johnnies Mug

Question:
I have a 5 inch tall very tall coffee mug or small beer mug that is blueish green with a 1/2 inch white lip. It is says "JOHNNIE S" with the S laying sideways and has flowers on it. It does not any Red Wing pottery markings on it, but I think it came from the Red Wing area in the 1950′s. I would like to know the history of the mug and the approximate value. Thanks, Al Ekblad

10 gallon large wing with no bail handels

Question:
Hi, I just bought a 10 gallon crock with large wing and no bailed handles. The oval stamp has the word Union above the phrase Stoneware Company. Similar to the oval style I’ve seen on Birch leaf crocks. Most Winged crocks I’ve seen have the oval with the phrase Union Stoneware Company on one line. What is the difference in age and value? Thanks Matt

15 gallon, Minnesota Stoneware, Elephant Ear Transition Crock

Question:
I found this 15 gallon crock. I think it’s a salt glaze because of the darker color (tan). It is 18 1/2 inches tall and the 15 is in blue and measures 3 inches across and length. Is this an Elephant ear pattern? It is dark inside almost black. I’ld say a really dark brown. Beautiful lines on the inside. The crock has no cracks in it. The handles are chipped on both sides though. What is the year of the crock and the value. Oh, I almost forgot the Pattern is in black. Thanks Sharon
