4 gallon Red Wing Crock

Question:
I just found this Red Wing crock at my mother’s estate and wish to sell it. Can you tell me about the age and (possible) value? I have more pictures on my gallery at "gallery.me.com/tsgllcidaho" The dimensions are 12 inches tall and 11 3/4 inches across with rim. Inside 11 inches deep and 9 3/4 across. It has a fracture on the bottom you can see on my gallery site. I filled it with hot water and it does leak a little but not profusley. It can be sealed, but not mint for sure. Thank you for your time and experience with these items. Arthur
