5 gallon crock with crown decoration

Question:
it this a Redwing crock? I purchased it last week on Cape Cod. I am wondering about it’s authenticity, age, value, etc. it measures 12.5 in. wide x 13.5 in. high. the only marking is the blue crown with the #5 on the front – two red wooden handles. a few hair-line cracks that I would like to repair or reinforce but I am not sure what to use (silicone, bonding agent, etc.) as I would like it to be around for years to come. thank you in advance … Patrick

Question:
What is the value of my set of Hearthstone Beige dinnerware? The service for eight includes:
8 dinner plates
8 luncheon plates
8 cups with handles
8 saucers
8 sauce dishes
1 salt and pepper
1 butter with lid
1 sugar with lid
1 lg. platter
1 small platter
1 oval relish dish
1 round bowl

All in excellent condition except the creamer has 2 tiny nicks on the lip. I purchased these as I gift for my parents during the strike of 67 when I was warned not to park in the parking lot as there might be nails in it. Even though I was working in Hastings, I was unaware of the strike. A couple of years ago I got this set back. Please give me some idea of the value. Thank you. Gerri Wilson
