Albany Slip wax sealer

Question:
Hi. I recently purchased this crock jar. I believe it is a wax sealer. Could this possibly be a North Star piece? It looks almost identical to one I found in an old RW book. I’m not absolutely positive but it looks like there might be a star on the bottom. It is 7 1/2 inches tall and 19 inches in circumference and I paid $25 for it. Can you tell me a value on it and if it is NS or Red Wing? Thanks for your assist. Gary
