Question:

Hi,

I recently acquired these four Redwing churns and was curious as to their vintage and value.  The churns are in very good condition, but I’m not sure the lids are all original to the churns.

I also have a 2 gallon Redwing churn with birch leaves and elephant ear handles that I’m not sure of the age or value (great condition, no lid however). 

Thanks! Scott

Answer:

Scott, all of your churns have the correct Red Wing lids and they were produced anywhere from 1915 to 1930.  The 2 gallon has the greatest value at around $300 with lid.  The 3, 4, & 5 with lids would be between $200 & $250.

A 2 gallon Birch leaf churn with molded handles was produced between 1895 & 1909.  Value without the lid is between $175 & $200.  Al Kohlman
