Question:

I acquired what I think is a pantry jar  and don’t really know too much about this piece.  Would someone there be able to tell me when these were produced and what it’s value may be.  There are some tiny flakes/chips on the side bottom edge.  That’s the only damage to the piece.  The diameter across the top is around 7 ½”.  I’ve included two pictures.

Thanks,
Chris

Answer:

Chris, it looks like you have the 5 pound Red Wing Pantry jar which was produce by the Red Wing Stoneware Company in Red Wing, Minnesota.   Without the lid and the small chips on the base the value is between $200 & $275.    Al Kohlman
