4 gallon salt glazed crock with drop 8 with quotations.

Question

I hope you can give me some information on the maker and time of these two crocks. Thank You In Advance, Ron

Answer:

Ron the 4 gallon salt glazed crock on the right is a Red Wing drop 8 with quotations.  It was produced between 1877 & 1895.  Value is between $200 & $250 if in perfect condtion.  The 4 galloon salt glazed crock on the left would be called a lazy 8 target.  It is not Red Wing.  Not being Red Wing, I just have no idea of value or history.
