3, 4, 5, and 12 gallon crock collection
Question:
We have four crocks: 3, 5 and 12 are all Red Wing. The 4 gallon has a two leaf emblem which appears to be the same as I found on one identified as: RED WING 10 GALLON CROCK BIRCH LEAF UNION STONEWARE CO.
None of the crocks have crazing in the bottoms. Some chips on the exteriors. The 5 gallon has both handles intact. The handle bosses on the 12 gallon are intact but missing handles. I do have one handle in poor shape and may find the second. Jackson

Pompeii Set – inquiry from Des Moines article
Question:
I have nearly a whole set of Pompeii, with many serving pieces and most are in excellent shape. I have no children and I know a dumpster awaits anything I don’t dispose of. How do I get in touch with someone who may have an interest in these pieces? I see the society is gathering in Des Moines this weekend. Is there anyone I can contact there? I have just unpacked all pieces so have a list if someone is interested. Thank you. Betty
Larry, sorry I did not read this one through. I though she might have been asking for value too. I agre with you on your response below. I will contact her directly today.

Large kitchenware pot with orange glaze on the interior of pot and a wonderfully earthy color tone on the exterior of the deep pot. Features two handles for lifting. The mark on the bottom of the deep pot is Red Wing U.S.A. 137. There is a 0.25" chip on the spout. There are several dirt spots where the exterior has been rubbed and the bottom has normal scratches from wear. Light scratches on the bottom of deep pot from normal use.
