Livestock Salt Cup

Question:
I have a Livestock Salt cup and I am wondering if it may have been made by Red Wing Stoneware. The cup measures 7 1/2" wide by 5" high, is zinc glazed and is stamped in blue — Wisconsin-Minnesota Salt Cup Patent appplied for manufactured by Siren Dairy Association Inc, Siren Wisconsin. Years ago I was told that it was not Red Wing; however, recently I saw one in an antique store and it was identified as Red Wing. The owner is a Red Wing Collector and told me that shards of this cup have been found in the Red Wing Pottery dump. My question is — is this so and is this cup made by Red Wing Stoneware? Do you have an approximate idea of the value? Thank you.
