Red Wing 1 gallon Safety Valve, May 21, 1886
Question:
This jug is 7" across the bottom, 8" high, and 6" across the top. It’s in excellent condition, I’m not sure how old it is, or if it’s worth anything to a collector. There is a stamp on the side which is hard to read, but I think it says: Safety Valve May 21, 1886 Tracey

Red Wing Butter Churn Lids, Minnesota Stoneware
Question:
Hi Al, Can you tell me if this is indeed a Red Wing butter churn lid? It came with my 4 gallon churn. From the top it appears the same as my other churn lids with the tapered style, but the underside has extra molding around the dasher hole. The undersides of my other Red Wing lids have a concave style that runs all the way to the hole. There is a "4" embossed on the top. Did Red Wing make different variations of churn lids? Thanks, Chris

Question:
My grandmother passed about 5 years ago, sorry no pictures to attach as of now. I received two Red Wing crocks from the will. The first is a 25 gallon, perfect condition no cracks breaks or anything. Maybe a light cleaning needed still from the dirt but scared too wreak the glaze. It was stored in her potato cellar. The second red wing is a 8 gallon with orginal handles also no cracks or breaks. Both have the beautiful red wing seal, with the blue circle marking underneathe. I’d just likke to know what I’m working with of value. I know that its something, just don’t know where to turn. Jenny
