Question:
I am not seeking value of the current Redwing piece that I have just inherited. I am looking for information regarding a fine crack that can be seen on both sides of the crock. I was wondering if there is anything recommended to seal the crack so that it does not get any bigger. We will not be using it for sauerkraut making anymore. I would appreciate any insight to mending/preventing any further damage to the current crack. Thanks in advance for your information. Dana

Answer: Dana, if the crock is together, I like to use Liquid Super glue (not the gel). Get as much of the super glue you can in the crack and apply a tourniquet. Leave set for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the tourniquet and use a razor blade scrapper to remove any excess super glue. Also, never wipe any of the super glue off while it is wet, or it will leave a white residue that is a bear to get off. Just let it run and dry. That razor blade scraper will remove it fairly easy. Good luck. Al Kohlman

i bought this for $40 dollars at a garage sale thinking it was worth more than that… Would love your opinion! It is a 2 gallon crock with lid. Markings: 3 A red wing Red Wing Potteries Inc.

Question:
Hi there! I have a 2 gal. redwing crock with a small 2" wing and a small oval marked with "Red Wing Potteries, Inc. Red Wing Minn" that is in mint cond. (no cracks or flakes) that we were looking to sell but after looking at the various ovals on your site to get an estimate of the date of this piece I’ve come up empty and was hoping you could help with a date range and value? I’m wondering if this could be a newer piece because of the company name? I’ve included a couple of photos. Thanks in advance! Brad
