3 gallon salt glaze jug

Question:
Hello, I have collected for years. This 3 gallon salt glaze is a recent find and the first side stamped jug I’ve found. The cobalt 3 on the front is not the most striking I’ve seen,but it’s there. Also,the jug is molded.I haven’t seen that in a salt glaze either. On the back,the letter D is stamped twice. What company does that stand for? My book says stamping doubles the value but it doesn’t explain the meaning of the various company letters. Is this molded 3 gallon a Red Wing? And what value does it have? No cracks,but three small chips. Thanks, Matt
