Question:
My wife and I have a half gallon Red Wing whiskey jug with the Banner Liqour Store logo on the side. Could you tell me what year this was produced and approx. what it is worth? Sorry, I do not have a picture of it at this time, but could at least please give me an estimate. Thanks so much, Kris and Marsha Hall, Winona, MN

Question:
I have a Red Wing jar that has no picture of any sorts on it. It stands approx 11 1/2 inches high and is 7 inches in diameter. There are some hairline cracks in the surface. There are a few chips around the top edge and there is one ‘pockmark’ approx 1/4 inch in size where it appears there is no glaze. I’m trying to find out when it was made and how much it’s worth. Thank You Jon

I recently dug this albany slip 5 gallon beehive jug. I am not familiar with the stencil style of 5 impressed in the glaze. It is hand thrown and size, shape, neck, and handle are very close to my Red Wing beehives. Can you help me with the maker? Thanks! Kevin

I was going to bid on a crock from an auction, I went to view the item, I was able to fill the ink on the crock, it was a 2 gallon crock with the lazy 8 marking, I have never had any thing but the birch leaf and the wing crocks, I felt if I can fell the ink like it is raised,that it may not be red wing, did I pass up a real red wing.

Question:
I am hoping you will have some information about a bowl I have. It appears to be a very early Red Wing Stoneware Co. brown crockery glazed bowl. The entire bowl is glazed crock brown with an unglazed rim & edge under the band as shown. It is 7 1/2" across at the top, 4" high. There is a pontil mark in the centre inside of bowl. Glazed bottom rim has 3 indentations. It is in great shape except for one small chip on the bottom as shown in the picture. The only mark is RWSCo hand etched into the bottom under the glaze. I have searched the web for years and never found one quite like it. Thanks for your help!

Question:
My mother has some Red Wing crocks in her basement. I am wondering about their value. One of the gray/beige colored crocks has the number 10 on it in the color blue. There is a red wing drawing on front.Stamped on the front are the words, Union Stoneware Co. There is another crock in the same color with the number 5 in blue also. It has two sides handles in black. Stamped on the front it says Red Wing Potteries Inc., Red Wing,Mn. The third crock has the number 3 in blue , with the red wing drawing on front also and writing on front says Union Stoneware Co. She has two other crocks, smaller in size with no writing on them . Could you give me any information about these pieces of pottery? Mary Miller

Question:
I recently found this whiskey jug at a local thrift store. The jug says "Quinn’s Quality Quantity (QQQ) – Largest Mail Order Grocer and Liquor Merchant in the West – Rye Whiskey – Kansas City, MO." It is approximately 13" tall, 11" wide and 4" deep. The only damage is a 1" narrow chip on the inside rim of the bottom of the jug. We have learned that Quinn Grocery Company was open from 1894 to 1919 in Kansas City, MO. I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide about this jug, including possible value and if you don’t believe it’s a Red Wing jug, who you believe may have produced it. Thanks!
