Red Wing 3 Gallon Churn with original wood lid
Question:
I have a 3 Gallon Red Wing Butter Churn that has the original WOOD lid. If you look in the price list of churn lids on page 57 of the "Red Wing Potters & Their Wares" Second Edition by Gary and Bonnie Tefft you will see that Red Wing did offer WOOD churn lids and dashers. The price list came from the Minnesota Historical Society and is listed as an 1895 MSCo advertisement. They were priced at $1.00 and $1.50 respectively. My churn was purchased from an old farmer in upper Wisconsin that had bought both directly from the Red Wing Pottery. If you would like to see a picture of the cover I would be glad to send you as many as you like. I am sending a picture of the page I mentioned.
