Question: Hi, I have a 40 gallon Red Wing transition crock and lid. I would like to know the value for the set. The lid has no chips or cracks and is marked with a blue “40”. The crock has a very fine hairline crack on each side that can’t be seen from the front view.

Answer: 

very nice piece you have there.  When mint, I’d except to see that crock bring somewhere around $2,500 if not a little more.  Damage can obviously impact value quite a bit depending on the severity.  It’s difficult to give you a fair estimate without seeing the hairlines.  As for the lid, these used to bring up to $1,000, but I’ve seen them bring closer to $500 at auctions in recent years.  It has a good look to it with the slight  dome shape and the color matches pretty well, so I’d put it somewhere in the $750 range.  Hope that info helps.

Question: 

 I have a 3 gal  shoulder jug that only shows the 3 on the front but there is  a sidewall stamp underneath the jug that reads “RED  WING STONEWARE CO.” I was wondering during what years this one was made and what its value is.  It is in good condition with no large cracks or chips.

 Thank you,

 Leanne

Answer: 

Leanne, You have a bottom signed 3 gallon Red Wing jug with a value of $50-$75.00

Hey,  I just bought this at an estate sale for my wife as she has become quite the Red Wing collector. Mostly she has jugs and crocks and even a butter churn. But this is going to be her first bowl. Can you tell me anything of the value or any prominence?

Thank you!

Kevin.

Answer:

Kevin, This bowl in excellent condition could run $150-$250, but with the crack on back its value drops to $75-$125.

Question: We are looking for the best way to appraise the value of this 12 gallon wing churn. 

Answer:

This narrow 12 gallon crock is actually a stoneware milk can. It would have had a metal ring with 2 handles on each side. Very few are left but demand isn’t that strong for this. A value is hard because demand can change. At this time a value of $1000-$1500 would be a good estimate in excellent condition.

Question:

Answer:

Pat, The damage brings down the value to around $150-$200. Without the oval brings down the value also. It’s a pretty jug.
