Question:
I have some additional information on the description of the 20 gallon Red Wing crock which I sent in a previous e-mail a few minutes ago. I consulted your page on the different type of emblems which appeared on the Red Wing crocks and determined that the top horizontal line on this crock begins under the letter"E" in "Red Wing". Given this emblem I assume the crock was manufactured sometime during the 1930s.

Cookie jar – emailed for photo

Question:
I have a cookie jar that may be from the early 30′s as I believe it was cold painted. The word cookie was designed into the jar and it used to be colored but the paint has faded to the point of being non-existent. the lid was broken and is now missing a piece of the clay. The outer measurements are approximately 8 1/4" by 8 1/4". Is there a way to have the lid repaired or replaced? What is the value of this piece? Debra

question from: npark69@sio.midco.net

Question:
Hi, I am attaching a picture of the bottom of a smaller Prismatique bowl numbered 791. The reason I am sending this to you is that there are unusual hand engraved numbers/letters along with the normal raised RW maker’s mark. I’m wondering if this is a glaze formula or something else. It is on two lines
top line – L i l (or L i 1)
2nd line – 76 (or T6) very sure it is 76
As I can only upload 1 pic, I will obviously send the one of the bottom but I do have other pics to send if you want to see them.
I’m just wondering if you could give me any information on the hand engraved "formula", does that make this more unique? etc… also, of course I would love to find out some guess as to what it may be worth.
Thanks so much for any information you can give me.
Nancy Parker
