Question:
Hello, I recently started collecting red wing crocks. I don’t know much about them other than I like the looks of them. I have recently aquired a #4 gal. red wing crock with wire handles, a 4" wing, stamped Dec. 21, 1915, and in mint condition,also a #5 gal. red wing crock with wire handles (one of which the wire is broken) a 4" wing, and stamped Dec. 15, 1915, and also a #20 gal red wing crock with a 6" wing, it is cracked half way around and has a few chips that are not very big (about the size of a dime). I also got a #6 gal crock with a blue crown with the nubmer 6 inside the crown. The crown is about 4" across. I am sure that this is not a red wing but was curious as to what it is. I am wondering what the values are on these pieces and wondering if you have any insight what are the best crocks to be collecting. I like them all but if I run across one that I am unsure about if I should consider getting it because it is worth something. Like I said I am fairly new at this and only started because I came across one and was mesmerized by it. I would greatly appreciate any help that you have to offer. Thank you, Laura
