Question:

Hello. I recently purchased at auction a safety valve stone ware piece. It has ” minnesota stoneware Co red wing minn” on bottom and blue safety valve pat on the side at bottom. I can’t make out the pat year . It is missing the lid and handle or valve. I was wondering what it is worth as is and as well with lid and handle/valve. I would also be interested in pruchasing these items if any one os them. Thank you in advance

Alan

Answer:

Alan, if your Minnesota Stoneware Company Safety jar was complete with all the hardware & in perfect condition, the value is between $100 & $125.  Yours missing the lid and hardware and the value drops to $40 to $50.  Finding the lid will be somewhat tough, finding the hardware will be extremely hard to do.  However, it is the hunt that is the most fun.  Good luck.  Al Kohlman
