3 gallon Elephant Ear crock with Minnesota oval

Question:

Hi, I have a 3 gallon elephant ear red wing crock with the blue “Minnesota” oval.  It does have the hairline crack at the base which is in the back of the crock with relation to the stampings. Could you give me a fair market value for this piece? Thank you. Jordan

Answer:

Jordan, if your 3 gallon Elephant Ear crock with Minnesota oval were in perfect condition, the value would be between $700 & $800 today.  With the hairline, that value will drop to half.  $350 to $400.  Al Kohlman
