Hello,
I picked up these two 20 gallon, Northstar and Minnesota 20 gallon salt glazed crocks this weekend. There are no chips at all but there is a hairline in each piece. In pic#2 you can see a very tight hairline that runs through the 0 on the NS crock. It runs about 5 inches but the rest of the crock is mint. On pic#3 you can see a tight hairline on the MS leaf crock that runs down to the bottom. What do you think on value?
Take care!
Answer:
Dru, collectors do not like hairlines and that does indeed affect the values. The 20 NorthStar Leaf, maybe $600 to $700. Minnesota Leaf $400 to $500. Al Kohlman
