5 gallon ball lock jar
Question:
We have a redwing crock selling at public auction on August 29, 2010 in Baker, Montana . I have been doing auctions a long time and have never run into a crock such as this. It does have a crack in the lid and a few chips around the outside but nothing major. Just curious about this piece and what its purpose was. If its something collectors would like.

Red Wing Butter Churn Lids, Minnesota Stoneware
Question:
Hi Al, Can you tell me if this is indeed a Red Wing butter churn lid? It came with my 4 gallon churn. From the top it appears the same as my other churn lids with the tapered style, but the underside has extra molding around the dasher hole. The undersides of my other Red Wing lids have a concave style that runs all the way to the hole. There is a "4" embossed on the top. Did Red Wing make different variations of churn lids? Thanks, Chris

Blossom Time yellow
Question:
Hello, I recently purchased a dinnerware lot of Red Wing Blossom Time in yellow. From what I have read, they either did not produce this long or there wasn’t much demand for this color.

9 Dinner plates
8 Lunch/Salad plates
14 Bread/Butter plates
7 Soup bowls
1 Cereal bowl
4 Berry bowls
8 Cup/Saucer sets
Cream & Sugar w/lid
Butter dish
Gravy Boat
1 Platter
1 3-section Relish/Serving dish
Again, I would like to move these so I am not looking to sell at list prices. Thanks in advance for your help! =) Sammy
