Question:
Hello, I’m hoping you might be able to help identify a crock that my fiance and her family recently inherited. I have attached a close up picture of the markings but have a wide angle shot if desired. From what I can tell, it is a 30 gallon Red Wing crock. I’m unsure of the exact measurements (but can obtain them if needed). It has the large blue 30 as well as the Red Wing (unsure of measurement again). Based on the oval stamps on your site, it appears this one uses the #8 oval, so it was manufactured in the ’30’s but prior to ’36. The stamp reads: RED WING UNION STONEWARE CO. RED WING MINN. There are several chips and there appears to be a small crack developing along the bottom. Please let me know what additional information you might need and thank you in advance! Victor

It is very unfortunate that this Red Wing Union stoneware is severly damaged. My first question is recommendations for repair to the condition where the pieces don’t fall apart. The second question is the value if I tried to sell it. Thanks for your time and consideration James
Answer: James, The crock could be glued and used for decorative purposes. The value is minimal and would not be worth the cost of a professional repair. Jeff
