Question:
I have a what I believe is a Chuck Murphy Redwing M-1429 in excellent condition…as pictured. What would be a general price on this item. The bottom has engraved: “RED WING USA M-1489”. Thank you.
Answer: I was able to locate the M- 1489 in the Ray Reiss Art Pottery two book. It was produced around 1955.
According to the 2003 price guide from the Reiss book it is valued at $55-75 with no damage.
Question 
bought this about 45 years ago at a small roadside stand near Buda, TX. All I know about it is what I can read on the internet. Can you tell me something about its history and value.It has just a few very small chips around the base and one small hairline crack. I’ve attached pictures. There is nothing on the bottom.

Answer
Randy, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 3 gallon elephant ear crock which was produced between 1895 & 1906. With the small chips and hairline crack, the value is $40 to $50. Al Kohlman
