We purchased this 5 gallon crock in Iowa City in 1978. Believe it’s Red Wing. Small half moon chip on the lip. On the bottom the name appears to be Warren Sweet, hand written. I’m assuming this to be a "lunch hour" crock. Any estimate on it’s value? Thank You.

3 Gallon Water Cooler

Question:
Hello! I found an old 3 gallon Red Wing water cooler when I was helping an older relative move her mom’s stuff out her house. She had no use for it and told me take it for helping them move all the stuff. The cooler itself is in perfect condition but the lid has issues! I’m going to put this up for sale on Ebay and was wondering if you gentlemen could tell me the approximate price I should be asking. Thank you for any help!

4 Gallon Crock

Question:
I have a 4 gallon crock that was my grandmothers and she had it for a long time. I was wondering if you could tell me if it is a Red Wing as I was told it probably was. It is a salt glaze and has a dark cobalt blue design on it that I haven’t seen on any other crock. The crock has a couple of very fine hairlines on the front and also some fine crazing all over. If it is what might it be worth? Thank you
