1 gallon Red Wing crock lid

Question:
Al, thanks for the answer to my 1 gallon crock question recently. Just happens now that I have come across a 1 gallon lid for sale. Wondering if you can confirm that this is a Redwing lid. It sure looks like it, but the petals appear to have have an odd shape to me, more of a point on the outside edge. As you may be able to see, it has a chip on the back of the button handle and 2 chips underneath on the outside of the lip. Could you tell me what a fair price/worth for this would be? Also, were button lids made prior to the flat handle lids, or were both made during the same year. Thanks again for your time. Darrell

1 gallon Red Wing crock

Question:
Hi Al, Not sure if my 1st question made it through or not (didn’t like the .BMP pic i sent.) Any how, I was wondering how much does what I consider to be a manufacturing flaw affect the value of an item? The pic attached is what appears to be a .75" – 1" deep hole in the bottom edge of a #1, large winged only crock. Also, rough time frame of when these were produced. Rough estimate would be nice too. No hairline cracks or any interior issues from the hole. Thanks For Your Time, Darrell
