5 gallon Red Wing Crock

Question:
I have a crock that I am looking for some information about. I met a gentleman at an antique show that was selling books about Red Wing Crocks and could not tell me much about it.

The crock is a 5 gallon I beleive milk holder. It is 11" in diameter and is straight up for 12". It then tapers to an opening of 6 1/2". It has the original wire and wooden handle. It also has the original stoneware top. I was told because of the Red Wing emblem that is on it, the products date is from 1915 to 1930.

I currently have terminal cancer and will need to sell it. Can you give me any idea what it might be worth and if anyone in your organization might be interested?

I am afraid I have dial-up so can not attach a picture at this time. I could ask a friend to send one if needed. Thanks, Carla

Can you tell me anything about it like when it was made or produced and its rareness or not? What sizes they came in? JohnPatrick
