Question:

Hi there.  My dad has a 50 gallon Red Wing Crock with lid and spigot.  The lid is damaged on the rim and has had a crack repaired.  The crock is in very good shape.  He is interested in selling the piece, but has no idea what it’s value is or what the appropriate venue is.  Can you please help? I have attached a pic for you.

Answer:

Tamara, if your dad’s Red Wing 50 gallon crock is in perfect condition, the value is between $1700 & $2000.  The lid with the damage is maybe $200 to $300.   

Value will depend on where you live, a collector that is looking for one and how far they would need to go to pick it up.   The closer to Minnesota, the better luck you will have.  You may have to come down in price if you are in an area with few collectors, so leave your options open.   These silo’s are just to expensive to ship.   Good luck, it is a nice looking 50.   Al Kohlman
