6 gallon butter churn
Question:
From my Mother I inherited 2 pieces that she used all of her married life.
1. a 6 gallon butter churn with a glaze like the picture on the left. It has a lid with a few chipped places and the wooden dasher goes through the hole in the center of the lid. On the front there is a large 6, below that a red wing, and below that an oval that says Red Wing Union Stoneware Co Red Wing Minn.
2. a 3 gallon crock, no lid, same looking glaze, and the front of the crock says: 3 Imperial Medalta Potteries Ltd. Medicine Hat Alberta
