Question:

I was wondering about this crock it has the birch leaves but no other markings. I was wondering first of all is it Red Wing? And 2nd an approximate value?

Thank You 

Rob

Answer:

Yes, your 2 gallon birch leaf crock is Red Wing.  If your crock is in perfect condition the value is between $50 & $60.  Al Kohlman

Question:

Hi, could you tell me a bit about this please?

Thank you!! Amber

Answer:

You have a Red Wing 3 gallon butter churn (without lid) with the first Red Wing oval.  It was produced between 1909 & 1912.  I see there is a crack or hairline which runs down  the front of this churn.  These cracks, just kill the value.  $50 to $90.  Al Kohlman

Question:

Hi – I purchased this red wing crock this week-end in Minnesota and am very curious about it.  I have never seen a crock with a round circle versus an oval on the front of it.  Inside the circle it says Red Wing Union on the top, in the middle is Stoneware Co. and across the bottom is Red Wing, Minn.  Please let me know if this is a rarity or common to some year and a value you might think it is worth.  There is a hairline crack on the side and a small chip of the very bottom edge of it in the back – so it is not mint, but very displayable and holds water.  My name is Beth

Answer:

Beth, your Red Wing crock was produced between 1930 & 1947.  With the circle rather than the oval, this crock is much harder to find.  However, with the hairline, the value just keeps your piece below even that of the crocks with easier to find ovals.  Collector (especially today) want perfect.   Value, $30 to $35.   Al Kohlman

Question:

My son and I just completed working spring cleaning up and cutting grass for a elderly lady in Chisago County.

As payment she gave my son his 1st piece of Red Wing which is a 2 gallon crock and she gave me a bean pot.

The Two gallon Crock is Red Wing salt glaze double P and is marked on bottom Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing.

No Cracks, and the only flake chip can be seen on bottom right.

The bean pot 8.5 inches in diameter and is in perfect condition, no cracks nor chips.

The bean pot has an advertising inside, and says “Your Beans are Good our bargains are better, Scandia Mercantile Company”.

The bean pot has lid and there are no cracks, chips or flakes. 

What do you think the estimated value of both pieces?

Thanks.   Scott & Bryce

Answer:

Scott, & Bryce, it  looks like you were paid quite well.  The Red Wing salt glaze bottom signed 2 gallon crock has a value between $140 & $160 in the condition you described.

The second piece is not a bean pot.  It is a Red Wing advertising casserole.  In perfect condition with the lid and advertising, the value is between $100 & $120.   Al Kohlman

Terry, this Red Wing 1 gallon Chicago Adv. jug must be the one that is on eBay currently.  It is a nice jug that was produced somewhere between 1920 & into the 1930′s.  Value will be between $250 & $300.  Al Kohlman

Question:

My 53 year old wife remembers her grandmother making pickles in the 8 & 30 gal Red Wing crocks (in the attached pictures) as a young child.  There doesn’t appear to be any chips or cracks in any of the pieces and the handles also appear in good shape.  We are almost sure that the 2 gal crock with the brown glaze interior is a Red Wing and we believe that the small crocks with covers and the (1-2 quarts) tri-side jug with screw top may also be from Red Wing.  Would you please let us know if these are also Red Wings?  We would also appreciate any comments concerning the pieces and an estimated values. 

Thank you,

Gregg & Amy

Answer:

First of all, all of your pieces look to be Red Wing.  Now, estimate values

Unsigned Red Wing bean pot  $20
30 gallon Red Wing crock with 6 inch wing, mint $300
Red Wing Albany slip foot warmer, unsigned. $50 to $75
8 gallon Red Wing crock with 4 1/2 inch wing $125 to $150
2 gallon Red wing crock, $50 to $70
Red Wing salt glaze double P crock $125 

Hope this is what you were looking for.  Al Kohlman
