3 sponge bowls
Question:
We have 3 bowls that we were told was redwing and we have some doubts. The measurements are 11" in diameter on the large bowl and 5 " diameters on the smaller bowls. The large bowl is smooth sided and the smaller bowls have a band around them about 3/4" from the lip of the bowl. The small bowls are marked with the nbr 5 and the large bowl has no mark or impressions on it. Would really appreciate your help. Thank you, Maddy

20 gallon Red Wing cooler / crock with spigot
Question:
I have a 20 gallon Red Wing cooler / crock with spigot. I believe it dates to around 1890, but have recently received information indicating that it might be more from around 1909-1919 based on the glaze and the big red wing. Could you please help me in dating this piece and perhaps what it might be worth. I inherited from my Dad who had it from when he and mom inherited Grandma’s antique store some years ago. This wonderful cooler/crock measures 20 ¼ inches in overall height, the base is 18 ¾ inches in diameter, the top is 19 inches from outside rim to outside rim and 16 7/8 inches from inside rim to inside rim. This crock/cooler weighs approximately 50 pounds. I believe it has a salt glaze to it and aside from the oxidation on the brass spigot and the fitting (or seal) for the hole (spigot) needing to be replaced, there are only a couple of small cracks visible and they are NOT through and through just surface cracks. I remember years ago this cooler used to have a lid, but unfortunately, it did get broken. Anything you could tell me about it would be most helpful. Thank you, Connie

Question:
Please tell me the value, age, and anything else you can about my 10 gallon self draining jar. It has a barely visible 2 inch x-shaped crack in the side and 3 small chips in the bottom edge. Is it true that even hair-line cracks take the value down 50% ? Do chips take the value down that much too? Thanks. Mary
