12 gallon red wing crock, marked “Special”

Question:
My father-in-law bought a 12 gallon red wing crock today. What made it stand out was that it had the word "special" printed in red above the number, which he has never seen before. I don’t have the piece with me so I can’t provide an image, but was wondering what "special" might mean and what value it might be placed at. There are a few small chips and a hairline fracture. If an image is requested we can provide that within a few days. Thank you. Li

3 gallon salt glaze crock with bee sting

Question:
I have an old crock which has been indicated to me might be an early Red Wing although I am very doubtful. Anyway, it is a salt glaze 3 gallon, with side 8 bullseye and beesting. It does have 2 handles, it appears to have been at least partially thrown and partially manufactured. The front is flat the back has a bump or ridge that is sometimes common in thrown items, also the top dimensions are 10" diam x 9 1/2" diam and bottom is stirctly 10" diam. Any information you could provide would be most appreciated. I found your site doing research on a 20 gal. Red Wing Cooler/Crock I have and so here I am to find out about this little treasure. It’s been in our family for over 30 years. Thank you. Connie Zeller

3 gallon Red Wing Shoulder Jug

Question:
We have inherited the attached piece, a 3-gallon "jug", and are wondering if it has any value. There are also a few crocks with the Red Wing logo. Also, I see from your website that the convention has a "haul in" time scheduled – is this when we should bring something like this to you if we wish to sell it? Thank you! Pete and Sherrie
