Question:
Hi, We just picked up a two gallon Red Wing crock at our local thrift store. It perfectly matches images online, so we’re pretty sure it’s the real thing. The red wing is pretty big, and the "2" and the Union Stoneware Co. logo is below the wing. It looks pretty much exactly like this except that the number is straighter http://www.rogersarkansas.com/museum/donation/redwingcrock.htm My real question is whether or not the glaze is safe — could we use this to make fermented foods? Is it lead based or anything? Thanks for your help! Jennifer

Question:
I have acquired a churn has a lid, but, the lid is solid. There is not a hole in the top. I am thinking it is not the right lid, it is solid with a little raised handle in the middle. The churn is marked with a number 4, standard union oval with two birch leaves beneath the oval (all in blue ink) Looking for age, lid info and estimate of value if possible. Thanks!

Question:
I recently came across a red wing product burried in a vaulted sidewalk in chicago. I have no idea how long it was there, but this is a very old section of Chicago. It is a white-ish stoneware jug with a loop for a handle that starts at the opening and has a slight curl to it where it connects to the jug. It has the red wings on it with the #5 above that. Under the wings there is a blue oval stamp/marking that says Red Wing (kind of like a company stamp. It does not look like the jugs on your website. The top is rounded but it has a lip/edge a quarter of the way down from the top. For being burried it is in good condition. there are no cracks and the bottom has a little chip in it. The coloring of all the stamps are still pretty vibrant. I am interested in knowing how old it is and what they are worth. Thank you

Question:
I would like to know the value of my 20 gallon crock. The wing measures 6" left to right and the oval is 2 7/8" and is known as the "ski oval" according to another website. My estimation of when it was made is between 1909-1914 going by all of the above measurements. There are no cracks and minimal if any chips/scratches. I would like to know how rare this piece is and what you think its value would be. I am unable to send a picture today, but can later if needed. Thanks.
