The reversed oval birch leave churns are out there, they are just not as common as the others. Your churn with mint would have a value between $175-200. Dates around 1900. Thanks Cliff

North Star Stoneware Company 10 gallon primitive butterfly crock

Question:

Attached you will find a picture of a crock that we have had floating around for a rather long time …. It is my hope that you may be able to tell me if it is an antique or not … if not, my husband wants to use it as a planter.

The dimensions are 15-3/4″ outside by 17″ high.  It appears to be about 20 gallon and I cannot find any stamp on it either side or bottom … the picture is all that I have to go on.  I am not even sure that it is a Red Wing or not.

Thank you for any information you may be able to provide.

Marlene

Answer:

Marlene, you have a North Star Stoneware Company 10 gallon primitive butterfly crock that was produced in Red Wing, MN.  The North Star Company when out of business somewhere around 1893 due to a depression.   It is a very desirable crock among the Red Wing collectors and if in perfect condition, can fetch anywhere between $800 & $1000. So tell your husband to go find another planter!!!!!!  Al Kohlman

3 gallon Red Wing birch leaf butter churn

Question:

Hi, I just purchased this nice butter churn from a flea market in Pinetop Arizona.  There are no chips or cracks that I can notice.

The man thought it was pretty old, and I just really loved it. I looked up the design on the pottery , and found that it was made in

Minnesota, but I thought all Redwing pottery at the “redwing” logo on it. Could you please date this piece for me, and tell me what

it is worth. Thank You

2 GALLON WINNIPEG GINGER BEER JUG

Question:

HI,JUST WONDERING WHAT THIS JUG MIGHT BE WORTH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RED WING,BUT DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS. IF IT IS, WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ITS VALUE MIGHT BE. IT IS A 2 GALLON IN MINT CONDITION.ITS A WINNIPEG GINGER BEER JUG. THANK-YOU

WILLIAM IN MORDEN,MANITOBA.CANADA

Answer:

Hi, William – Your jug is definitely RW and tends to bring around $250-$300 down here in the states.  Sometimes I’ve seen them priced for more when dealers/collectors put them out for sale, but I rarely see them sell for any more than that.  They might bring more up in your area…you’d know better that I on that.

Here’s a pic of my King’s Old Country cooler and jug.  These are both 5 gallon pieces, however.  I don’t know what the 2 gallon jug was designed to sit on top of, as I’ve only seen coolers in the 5 gallon size.  They’re pretty rare.

Best,

Rick
