3, 4, 5, and 12 gallon crock collection

Question:
We have four crocks: 3, 5 and 12 are all Red Wing. The 4 gallon has a two leaf emblem which appears to be the same as I found on one identified as: RED WING 10 GALLON CROCK BIRCH LEAF UNION STONEWARE CO.

None of the crocks have crazing in the bottoms. Some chips on the exteriors. The 5 gallon has both handles intact. The handle bosses on the 12 gallon are intact but missing handles. I do have one handle in poor shape and may find the second. Jackson

20 gallon large wing Crock

Question:
General information, identification of the piece, the time period it was produced, the rarity/desirability of the item and a range of possible value. Piece is 20" tall, 19" across, what I would consider in excellent condition with no visible nicks or damage with a clear glaze. According to the history of labels appears to be between 1909 and 1915 time period. This inside does not show any signs of use. I read an article regarding the collector show Feb 11th which prompted me to request more info. Jeffery

20 gallon Red Wing Crock

Question:
I have a zink glazed 20 gallon Red Wing crock with the brown Red Wing Emblem enblazed on the side. The crock is in mint condition with no cracks or chip marks. I have had the crock for approximately 30-32 years. I don’t know the age of the crock. Could one of your experts please provide a rough estimate of it’s value? I also have a 15 gallon zinc glazed crock with a picture of a blue crown emblazoned on the side. I also have the center knob crock cover for it. I’m not sure if the crock and cover were manufactured by Red Wing. The crock and cover are also in mint condition without any cracks or chip marks. I have had this crock for approximately 30+ years. Could one of your experts please give me an estimated value? Thbak you for yor consideration of this request. John

Second Submission of additional information:
I have some additional information on the description of the 20 gallon Red Wing crock which I sent in a previous e-mail a few minutes ago. I consulted your page on the different type of emblems which appeared on the Red Wing crocks and determined that the top horizontal line on this crock begins under the letter"E" in "Red Wing". Given this emblem I assume the crock was manufactured sometime during the 1930s.
