Jug Handle

Question:
Hi, I sent you a collection of crocks, a jug and a churn to look at. The jug was a 3 gallon with a lazy 8 and target that could have been Red Wing or perhaps Western. I am including a picture of how the handle is attached to see if that could help you identify it. Once again, thanks for your help and information.

Red Wing Gray Ling Beater Jar with Advertising

Question:
Hello- I have a stoneware piece with advertising that I believed was a Red Wing piece. My question is about the stamp on the bottom. It is a blue circle that says "Made in Red Wing" in blue writing. Is this an actual Red Wing stoneware?

It seems to be a small beater crock about 5" tall and to be in fair condition. It has a few small chips and scratches in the glaze. Just below the rim on the outside, there are two blue stripes, in between which there is a sponging. It has advertising in side for Ellwein, DeWald, & Co in Freeman, South Dakota. Thank you Alison

Salt Glaze Crocks and Churn collection

Question:
I would like you to look at 4 pieces of stoneware in the picture. The top left is a 3 gallon salt glazed crock, in mint condition, with a cobalt 3 and a lazy 8. It also has 2 incised lines near the top. The top right is also a 3 gallon salt glazed with a cobalt 3 and what I think is called a target or beesting. It has a one inch shallow chip on the rim in the front. On the bottom right is a 3 gallon jug with a lazy 8 and the target/beesting. It has one small shallow chip on the shoulder. This jug has an incised H near the bottom. On the bottom left is a 5 gallon salt glazed butter churn with a deep chip on the front. Are any of these Redwing? If not, would you have an idea of the maker. Any information and values would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!
