Question:

I inherited this 2 gallon crock from my parents. The only markings on it are shown in the picture. It does not have any handles & the inside is black. Can you please tell me anything about it like who made it and about when it was made.

Thank You
Tom

Answer:

Tom, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 2 gallon salt glazed crock that is decorated with a double P.  This crock was produced between 1883 & 1895 and if in perfect condition has a value between $125 & $135.   Hope this helps.  Al Kohlman
