Question:
I have a 20 gallon Crock that I found in my Mom’s garage. I was wondering if you could give me an estimate of what the value might be. It does not have a top/lid but it does have two wire and wood handles. They look to be original. The piece has no cracks or chips. I’ve attached a photo of the Crock. There are no other markings of any kind on the piece that I am able to see. Thank you for you help. Sincerely, Robert Airis
