Question:

Hello,

My name is Joni.  I am not a member of your Red Wing Collectors Society, but we have a unusual one of a kind piece of Union stoneware that we are trying to put a valve on.  Would you be able to recommend someone?  I do have pictures that I can send to any one that would like to see it.  Thank you for your time.

Joni

Answer:

Joni, I talked to a couple people about this churn. We think it was some type of prototype to churn butter. There are not any comparables so it is difficult to establish value. It’s very unique and you would need demand (collectors that would really want it) for the price to go higher like an auction.

Question

Hello,

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions. It is greatly appreciated. My husband picked this crock up for me at a yard sale this weekend. I’m new to collecting and I have several red wing crocks but they actually have the red wing on them. I also have a few birch leaf crocks as well but I do not have any of the early pieces. He saw this and thought it was cool looking so he picked it up for me. I really like it but I’m not exactly sure what it is. I have looked at numerous questions on the site but I haven’t found this exact design. It does have a small chip at the top and two hairline cracks on the bottom. The white stuff on the inside of the crock is some kind of goo that I need to clean up so they are not chips. Can you out tell me what I have and an approximate value if any?

Regards,

Laura 

Answer

Laura, You have a 3 gallon Red Wing Dragonfly crock.  $300 in excellent condition, with the crows foot crack on bottom around $150

Question:

I purchased this jug at a thrift store, it was covered in green paint and could not see any markings at the time of purchase.

I brought it home and washed off the paint with extremely hot water and a sponge. I was extremely delighted to find out it was a 

red wing! However I have only previously seen a No. 5 with this printing. Is the No.3 rare? Please review my pictures and advise if possible in addition to the possible value. I believe I paid $14.00 for it.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Amy

Answer:

Amy, Your Waconda Adverting jug is worth $500-$550 in excellent condition.
