6 gallon Red Wing, 3 gallon and 10 gallon birch leaf

Question:
Hello again, I am submitting photo of 3 different crocks. A #10 crock with no visible cracks. A #3 crock with a crack on the bottom. Both with leaves and no oval stamp. And lastly a #6 crock with the red wing, and some chipping but no visible cracks. I was curious about the significance between the leaves and wing decoration, as well as the lack of oval. Does this hinder age identification? Again I’d appreciate any information regarding age and value. Thanks again I appreciate the help. Mindi

Thank you very much for your time. MIndi
