Question: Hello everyone,

Answer:

Leah, The pickle crock looks like a Red Wing preserve jar worth about $250, The Grommes and Ullrich 1 gallon jug about $125 and the 4 gallon jug about $300. Assuming in mint condition and far as selling you can post on the Red wing face book site, auction or craigslist works well.

Question:

Hello,

I saw a bowl on eBay with advertising stating “Compliments of Darien Hardware, T. C. Synder, 1940, Darien, Wis.”  The bowl was listed as a Red Wing piece and sold for $81.  The seller stated that although unmarked, it was obviously a Red Wing bowl.  I am not so sure, but would like your opinion.  It is about the same size as a cap bowl, but has no markings and is a slightly different shape than Red Wing cap bowls.  I took some photos from my computer monitor and have attached them.  They aren’t the best photos, but they illustrate the bowl well enough to see that it is not a cap bowl.  Can you help me with the identification of this bowl?  Thanks for your help.

Answer:

This is a Red Wing bowl. They come in Blue, White, White with blue bands, Albany and sponged . The book doesn’t state a name but I have called them Cactus bowl.

Question:

Hello,

I’m hoping you might be able to provide some information on this red wing crock. The crock has a raised red wing stamp on the bottom and I cannot locate any information on a piece with this marking.

It measures 10 1/2 inches tall and 10 3/4 inches across. It has some some small chips along the bottom along with a hairline crack along the lower bottom edge. I’ve attached a picture of this damage.

I’m not a red wing collector but I am curious about the raised signature. I just liked the mellow brown glaze that blends well with my other collections. Thank you. Alicia

Answer:

Alicia, Your 3 gallon crock was made in Red Wing Minnesota around 1880’s. You can find different designs with this bottom mark. A mint crock will have a value around $150 in mint condition with a crack depends on where it is down the $30-$50.

I was wondering if you could provide me with any information about our Redwing butter churn, age, approximate value, etc.

Thank You,

Answer:

John, Your birch leaf churn was produced between 1895 & 1906. In mint condition I would value this around $200.
