It has a large chip out of the rim and also has a hairline crack running across half the lid. I have provided a picture for you to look at, thanks! Brandon

10 and 5 gallon crocks
Question:
I found two pieces of red wing stoneware at my parents house. A 10 and a 5 gallon (i guess) buckets or crocks? I guess my grandparents used to make sauerkraut in the days. They are in excellent condition dated back to 1915 (according to the Red Wing stamp)on the stoneware. They do not have lids. There cylinder shaped with two handles. The handles are metal and go into a premade hole on each side for carrying the stoneware around. there pretty heavy. Any idea what i’m looking at? Are these collectible items? Thanks Mike
