Question:
I was wondering if you could give me a value for this. It has a 6 inch long hairline behind one of the handles, has no other blemishes and has the original handles. It is stamped Redwing Union Stoneware Co. Is it supposed to have a cover? Thank you.

Answer: These 5 gallon Red Wing crocks are quite abundant and easy to find. So with a crack the value will be quite low. Around $30. Your 5 gallon Red Wing crock would have been sold without a lid, but Red Wing did make lids for these crocks, however, they were sold separate from the crock. Al Kohlman
