“Egyptian” type mini jug with Lin-Gal, Shaving Lotion advertising

Question:
We recently purchased this set of 3 mini jugs. They are all in good condition – no chips or cracks. They are 5 1/2" tall. They all have an applied decal on the front that says "Lin-Gal" and paper labels on the backs that say "Shaving Lotion," "After Shaving Lotion," and "Men’s Talc." Manufactured for Lin-Gal in Minneapolis, MN. Did Red Wing manufacture the jugs? If so, what do you think their value is? Thanks!

2 gallon western crock

Question:
I have these two lids that I had thought to be Red Wing, but now I’m not sure. Based on the "ring" where the glaze was scraped off prior to firing, I’m guessing they are from the same company. Can you tell me anything about them, please? The small one (with a 3 on the knob) fits perfectly on the 2 gallon crock shown, but is a slightly different color/glaze. So apparently they are two different manufacturers. It has an overall diameter of 9.25 inches. The large lid (with an 8 on the knob)has an overall diameter of 14 inches.
