Question: 
Sorry for my slow response, but here is the picture of the small jug. It is in excellent condition. Don’t know if the market is still strong for RW. Bought this about 40 years ago. Have been deaccessioning my various collections. Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks much.

Question:
Hi, I'm helping my father do some research on a 6 gallon Red Wing butter churn. He is considering selling and would like to know the value, if possible. It has a crack near the top (picture included) and my understanding is there was a hole in the bottom of the churn that was repaired at one point (not sure how big it was, including a picture of the bottom of the churn). Also, it looks like there might be a crack over the advertising but the glaze still feels smooth so I'm not sure if it's a crack or some other defect. The lid is not shown but we do have it and is believed to be the original. Please let me know if you have any questions. Any info you can provide would really be appreciated. Thank you, Amanda
Answer:
Amanda, This is a nice 6 gallon advertising churn! With a crack and repaired hole it still has a value around $1200.

Question:
Hello! We don’t find a lot of Redwing up here in BC Canada, but I have seen some beautiful pieces when we travel in the US. I was surprised to find this piece at my local thrift store the other day... sadly no lid. From reading some of your website I see it has the “Union” oval and the birch leaves. I would be interested in knowing when these ice water crocks were produced and a value if possible! It is in pretty darn good shape - a small chip or two at the back on the base. I appreciate any information you can supply. many thanks Eva
Answer:
Eva, Your 6 gallon Birch Leaf Ice Water was manufactured by the Minnesota Stoneware Company in Red Wing Minnesota sometime between 1895 & 1906. In mint condition it has a value between $700-$800. Chips on the backside base, still $600-$700.

Question:
I recently got this 2 gallon Red Wing Potteries straight walled cooler and was just wondering its value.
It came without a spigot – the hole in the crock is glazed. The hole angles upward as it goes back into the crock, so the Central spigot with its ½” piping looks very strange on it – it points downwards at a bit of an angle. I found a 3/8” piped spigot and put it in instead so that it at least looks decent.
Thanks for your time,
Randy
Answer:
Randy, Your 2 gallon cooler is worth about $150.

Question:
We are in the process of going thru my mom and dad’s items. We have a crock that I would like to know their worth.
The crock says 20 and has design on it. Also in good condition-no cracks; the only blemish is it looks like something sticky must have gotten on the crock by the 20. I didn’t want to start scraping it, for fear it would do more damage.
If you have more information and what they are worth, I would appreciate knowing. Thank you.
Christine
Answer:
Christine, You have a 20 gallon North Star primitive butterfly crock made in Red Wing MN. In mint condition $1500

Question:
Good Morning,
My husband and I recently came across this 8 gallon salt glaze crock and are hoping you can provide us with some basic information on it (identification of the piece, the time period it was produced, the rarity/desirability of the item and a range of possible value). I have included photos which show there are two cracks on the back. I high-lighted the two cracks with tape so the size is more visible. The cracks are on the outside and inside of the crock.
Thank you,
Jessica
Answer:
Jessica, This is a 8 gallon very desirable ribcage crock made in the 1880’s. A very well marked one could bring as much as $3000. With the lines in back still could bring $1200.
