6 gallon double leaf salt glaze crock

Question:
I picked up this crock at a flea market in south eastern Indiana today. I have several Red Wing pieces at home (oval and red wing logo). I am curious if this piece is Red Wing. Could you tell me approximately how old it is? In your opinion, what price would this bring at a sale? It is in excellent condition with only a few very small knicks on the handles. There are no cracks. I’ve never seen one like this in Indiana…Bee Stings are everywhere, but nothing like this. Thank you for any information you are able to provide. Melissa

Half-gallon pail, Grey Line Sponger Band butter pail

Question:
Dear Expert, I have this half-gallon plant pot with a blue mark on the bottom that says ‘made in red wing’. It also has an inscription that says ’5′. I’m a little confused, because ‘made in red wing’ doesn’t necessarily mean that is from the redwing company. What would you say? It has a pretty large crack, anyway. thank you Henrieke
