Question:

I am wondering what the value is on some of these pieces I have. I appreciate your quick response.  Thank you.

The 5 Gallon Elephant Ear is in black ink and the front is stamped Union – Stoneware Co. – Red Wing, Minn. – it is also stamped on the bottom of the crock – it says, Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing – it is in very good condition.

The 3 Gallon Elephant Ear is in black ink and the front is stamped Union – Stoneware Co. – Red Wing, Minn. – it is also stamped on the bottom of the crock – it says, Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing – it is in very good condition. I also have a 3 Gallon Elephant Ear  (not pictured) with all the same front and bottom markings but it is in blue ink.

The 3 Gallon Jug’s number is in blue ink and has no other markings – it has a chip on the rim but the rest of the jug is in good condition.  I do not know much about this particular piece but thought it unusual.

The 2 Gallon Elephant Ear is in blue ink and the front is stamped Union – Stoneware  Co. – Red Wing, Minn. – it is stamped on the bottom of the crock – it says, Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing – it also is in very good condition.  I also have another 2 Gallon Elephant ear (not pictured) with all the same front and bottom markings but is in black ink.

And last but not least…a 4 Gallon crock with the red wing and is front stamped Red Wing – Union Stoneware Co – Red Wing, Minn – it is in very good condition although it seems to have a faded look to it where the numbers, wing, and front stamp are not as pronounced on the crock.

Thank you so much for your opinions on these pieces.  Kim
