Question:

Dear RedWing Collectors,

I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out as to the
antiqueness  of my 15gl crock. If you could help me with an estimate
of the value of my crock and lid as well.

Both the crock and lid  seem to be in very good condition.

Enclosed are 4 pictures of my crock and  lid.

Thank you for your time.

Answer: Josie, your Red Wing 15 gal crock in perfect condition has a value between $100 & $125.  The lid is not Red Wing  and therefore I have no information on its value.  Al Kohlman

Christmas Tree Stand green

Question:

Good morning

My wife and I where on a treasure hunt around 25 years ago when we found this in a basement crawl space. We have seen many with basic glaze and Red Wing markings but have not found one like this. It measures 8 1/2 inches tall and has a 10 inch diameter. I believe I had read years back that Red Wing experimented with green enamel. It does not have any markings on it. Could you please let us know if this is Red Wing and what the value if it would be?

Thank you for the help.

Nick & Lori

Answer:

Yes, the Christmas tree holder was made by the Red Wing Stoneware company.

It was made around 1930.  I have seen some of these with the Red Wing art pottery ink stamp.  I would place the value between $250-300.  Add $50 if it were ink stamped.

3 gallon Red Wing water cooler with lid and bubbler

Question: Greetings,

I have a 3 gallon cooler complete with lid and blubber.  Very similar to what Kristi inquired about in September.  Can you give me an estimate of value?  It is in very good condition.  Is the blubber chrome plated brass?  It is not magnetic.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  I can send pics if you need them.

All the best,

Reed

Answer:

Reed, the 3 gallon Red Wing water cooler with lid and bubbler has a value in the area of $600.  The bubber is nickel coated brass. This is why it is not magnitic.  I don’t see any wear on the bubbler and all looks to be in great shape.   Al Kohlman

5 gallon Red Wing beehive jug

Question:

I’ve had this Red Wing Beehive 5 Gal Jug for a few years now.  I was told when I had bought it that it was in Frank McCormick’s private collection until he passed, and then remained in his family until I acquired it.  I was able to find one of his signatures on a Gophers baseball card that had been authenticated, and it matches the signature that is on the tag on the jug. It appears to be in perfect condition, no cracks or chips anywhere, it appears to be in new / mint condition.  There is no makers mark either on the front or bottom. As I understand it was produced between 1895 and 1917?  I’m trying to figure a value on the piece, my best estimate is between $300 and $500, but I am wondering if the provenance of it being owned by Frank McCormick adds any value??

Thanks,

Nick

Answer:

Nick, the value on this 5 gallon Red Wing beehive jug is between $300 & $350.   It would have a higher value if it had an oval..   As far as  Frank McCormick’s  goes, a collector would not pay a higher value just for the fact it was in his collection.  If he had signed the piece before it was glazed, then that would be a different story.   Plus you would have to have everything authenticated, which it is not.    Hope this helps.   Al Kohlman

4 gallon beehive salt glaze jug

Question:

Attached are photos of a jug Wanted to know if you thing its a Red Wing if it may be, with a hairline in the front, what may it be worth? thank you, Joe

 

Answer: Joe, this is one of those designs that is not seen on many Red Wing pieces.  However, there is a Red Wing 12 gallon crock that is signed & an unsigned 4 gallon beehive with this very decoration.  Also, the back of the handle looks to be Red Wing.
With all this being said, a value between $800 to $1000 is possible.  Al Kohlman
