Question:
In my Grandfathers basement I have found a crock that has the Redwing emblem on it and a "10" (10 gallons?) on it. I know absolutely nothing about crockware. Can you give me any info about it? Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of it, but I told my Mom I would see what I could find out about it. Thank you so much for your time.

Answer:  We need a bit more information about your crock to give you a vlue for your piece including the size of the wing, what the oval says, if it has handles along with condition. Please email to director@redwingcollectors.org and I would be happy to provide you with information regarding your grandfathers crock.

Question:
Looking for information on a 20 gal Red Wing crock. Good condition. Brown interior, built in handles, blue single flower painted on crock along with the number 20. Stamped/indented directly below the flower at the bottom front of the crock is: Redwing stoneware Minnesota (in an oval). It has been in our family since the early 1960′s however I have no history of it prior to that time. We also have two 8 gal crocks, one with wire and wood handles, the number 8 stamped on it, an actual red wing stamp and a blue stamp with company info. the 2nd 8 gal has molded handles, the blue stamped 8 and two blue stamped leaves along with a blue stamp with company info. I will be having the photos converted to a disc so I can send them at a later date. However based on the general information provided, what can you tell me about these crocks? Thank- you for your time! Karolynn

Question:
I have had this 10 gal. crock for years now. I got it at an auction and I believe I paid about $30-40 for it as it has some cracking. I have just used it for decoration and that is probably all its value is with the cracks in it. I have included pictures. It looks like I can only include one photo, so there are 3 places with cracks. One on the front center starting at the top. one on the side that is inside going halfway down. The last is inside across the bottom and up the side an inch or so. The inside diameter is about 14" and the height is about 16". In the circle it does say Union Stoneware Red Wing, Minn. Thank you for your opinion

Hi I am looking for a brown Red Wing Stoneware pig. There is one on Ebay now but Ouch!!!!. Anyway, when I was a little boy, My Grandmother bought me one from the Estate of her Mother and through some disreputable people, I lost it. I have been trying to find one to replace the memory—any suggestions as to where I could purchase one? I hate auctions because I WANT IT NOW!!! (OK, I am still six years old!!! LOL) Thanks for whatever help/advice you could give Sincerely Bob Nelson
