Question:

I am setting up for a garage sale and was wondering if you could please tell me the value of this 5 gal redwing jug. (Couldn’t find same on your site thru 50 pages) Thank you so much.

Answer:

David your Red Wing 5 gallon Beehive jug with the 6 inch Red Wing is a nice and early jug.  If in perfect condition the value today would be right around $400.   Al Kohlman

Question:

We rescued this Saffron Ware lidded jar from a relatives basement. It’s about 8 inches high, and 8 inches diameter. The glaze seems to be in decent condition, with no chips or cracks (although I’m far from an expert on these things). I searched the posts on this site, and found a few other Saffron Ware jars and bean pots, but nothing that looks quite like this one. Any information  –including approximate value—would be greatly appreciated.

Roy

Answer:

Roy this jar is a Red Wing saffron ware cookie jar.  As far as value goes it is quite low due to no advertising or decoration.  $30 to $40.  Al Kohlman

Hello,

I recently came into possession of (2) Red Wing jugs. Can you please share with me any information (age, use, value, etc.) you have on these jugs? I would greatly appreciate it.

Question:

Howdy,

I’ve had this old crock awhile and was curious as to its age & value. There are no markings on it aside from the bottom and the design on the lid.

Many thanks,

Matt

Answer:

Matt, you have a zinc glazed Red Wing Stoneware Company 1 gallon crock which was produced anywhere between 1895 & early 1900’s.  Value for the bottom signed crock in perfect condition is around $40 to $50. The 1 gallon Red Wing button lid $70 to $90.  Al Kohlman
