Question:

Hi. This is a 4(pretty sure)gallon crock. It kind of looks like the drop eight Mark is on it. There are no “red wing” stamps on it. There are no markings on the bottom at all. There are no chips or cracks on it. A friend of mine gave me this crock when she moved. It was given to her in potter valley, CA 30-40 years ago.

I am so curious about this crock! Is it redwing? Is it some other brand? How old is it? How much is it worth? Any info that you have about this crock would be very much appreciated! Thanks so much for your time, Amy

Answer:

Amy, you have a Red Wing Stoneware 2 gallon drop 8 with quotations salt glazed crock.  The markings are a little week, however still a nice piece.  Value would be around $100 in perfect condition.  Al Kohlman
