Question:
10 Gallon Water Cooler…. Thanks Al for the evaluation. The lid is a reproduction done by Willis Jones, Beatrice, NE made several years ago. It has two blue bands and a thumb print to identify that it is not original. The oval at the bottom is not a Redwing logo as it reads San Antonio Southwest Seating Company which I have been told makes it one of a kind. Does that change the value? Thanks again for your time.

8 Gallon stoneware
Question:
I came across an 8-gallon crock w/ rusty metal handles. It has a glazed design over the original markings of Thanksgiving-looking design. The outside glazed has been chipped away to reveal gray pottery underneath and a big number 8 in blue print. There is also the words near the top rim that show through the outer glaze that say Patented in 1916. What kind of pottery is this and what is the value?

30 gallon double birch leave with Union Stoneware Oval
Question:
Hi there! I found a crock in my Grandma’s chicken house and was wondering what you could tell me about it. I asked her about it and she said it was inherited from one side of the family or the other. She said she used it to make pickles in. She will be 84 in 2 weeks. It is VERY heavy, no cracks at all, no handles or drains as I see some crocks do have them. But it seems to be in perfect condition with a little cleaning. I do have a close up picture of the marking that says RED WING UNION(?) STONEWARE CO RED WING-MINN. What can you tell me about it??

Red Wing Umbrella Stand, with cranes
Question:
I picked up this umbrella stand in Wisconsin about 15 years ago. I’m certain it is the same as one pictured in an old Red Wing catalog. I believe it is a rare piece and can not find any pricing information. Could you please give me an estimate on it’s value and whether there is a market for this type of item? Thanks much!
Answer: Hi, it is a rare item, and collectors would want this one. not too many of these are around. It’s most likely from the 20′s era. I would guess the value to be 1000.00 + thanks, steve n rose
