5 gallon bail handled crock

Question:
I have a crock that says it was patented on Dec 21, 1915. It is a 5 gallon crock. It has the 5 and the red wing and the blue emblem. The blue emblem says Red Wing Union Stoneware Company. It also has a wire handle attached. The handle is missing on one side. It was my grandmothers. She lived on a farm in St Joe Iowa. up in northern Iowa near Fort Dodge. Can you give me a range of possible value Della

 

Answer: Della a perfect 5 gallon Red Wing crock is valued between $75 & $90. Any chips, cracks, hairlines or flakes and the value will drop quite a bit. These are very common and easy to find, so it will take a nice one to get these values. Al Kohlman
