Question:
I have a damaged Red Wing Ko-Rec Feeder top made by the Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. in Minneapolis. It has hairline factures and a piece broken on the bottom front, as well as on the bottom back. However, unlike others I have seen on the Internet, this top states, "Pat. Applied For" rather than the number itself. Is this of any significance and what is the value of this piece? I did not include the base in the photo as it appears to be a substitute replacement. Thank you.

Question:
Hello Collectors, could you please tell me anything about this piece? I would appreciate it. It was purchased by my Son-In-Law in Green Bay,Wis. It has a dimple on the side with the Red Wing mark , otherwise it’s perfect. The leather handle has very little wear, and the cork is excellent as well.( I haven’t tried to remove it)I am interested in Red Wing and have had some really nice pieces. I want to know how old it is, where it was made, who do you think made it, and if you can what it’s worth? Thank you very much!! I am going to try to e-mail some pics but I have never done it before so if you don’t get them please let me know.

Question:
I wanted to know if these are Red Wing Fancy jugs. The smallest one is 2 1/2 inches tall and is marked Betis & Johnson, Fort Smith Arkansas on the front. There is no marking on the bottom. The second has a paper label that reads Bourbon Whiskey The Sanford Pharmacy 8 Main Street Boonville, NY and is marked R.W. S.W. Co on the bottom. It is 4 inches tall and has some glaze skips and a small chip at the bottom. I was guessing from the website that this might be a 1/8 and 1/4 pint, but the 4 inch jug holds about 1/2 pint completely full. I would love to know more about these! Thanks!

Question:
Hello Al, 31 years ago when the old house I was raised in was being bulldozed down I saw there was a root cellar that we had not known about beneath it. I found 2 salt glazed crocks. Here is a picture of the 20 birch leaf. A few years ago a collector of these said it was made in the late 1890′s by Red Wing. Do you think it is? There are no other stamps on it, it has no cracks, but it does have a large chip on the ear and 3 small ones on the rear base ( though all seem to have been there before the glazing as they are covered with the same glaze). Did they produce ‘seconds’ for a cheaper price? I’m going to attempt it’s sale and would like your opinion of it’s approximate worth. Thank you for any help, Diane.
