Concord beverage servers different sized covers

Question:
I collect the iris pattern in the concord line. I was in need for a lid for my coffee pot, and purchased a blossom time pot and lid to use the lid. my surprise was that the lid was smaller than I needed. the blossom time pot has a lip on the top for the lid to ride on, and my iris was not made with this lip. Was there a change in production, or was my pot made to not have a lid? thanks Daniel

8 gallon Crock and 4/5 gallon perfection

Question:
I found 2 redwing crocks in my basement 1 of them is a 8 gallon perfect condition (no cracks etc.) no lid but it has the handles. The one I am really wondering about is the one I found inside of it. It looks like it could be a 4 or 5 gallon. it has blue stripes on top and bottom with disigns on it. it has a cork in the bottom. on the side it says success filter and a caption for best results on how to use it. I did not find a date on it but it does say redwing company on it. this is also perfect condition the cork does not even look like it was used. I am sorry I do not have a picture of it. I looked all over the internet and can’t find anything like it. If you think I really have something I could get a pic to you but I don’t know what it is worth. Carole
