Question:
I am hoping that you are able to help me find some information about my 6 gallon double leaf crock. I bought the crock for $45 dollars. I would love to know if it’s red wing, the price, and how old the crock is.
Answer:
Your crock is a RW crock manufactured in the early 1900′s. It does not have the standard oval stamp—many crocks like this were sold in department stores such as Sears.
