Thanks again for your time.

Best regards

Answer:

Cheryl, A mint condition salt glaze 6 gallon Daisy front stamped cooler in today’s market is around  $7500 .  A 40 gallon bailed handled lid in mint condition could bring $400-$500.

Question:

I am hoping to learn a bit about the history, age and value of these 2 crocks, both in perfect condition, no cracks or chips.

Thanks! Lisa

Answer:

Lisa, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 3 gallon double rib cage crock.   It was produced between 1883 to 1895 or so.   Unsigned and in perfect condition, the value is around $200-$250.

The 10 gallon Elephant Ear crock  was produced between 1895 & 1906.  In perfect condition the value is around $500.

Question:

Hi I was wondering if you could help out with this red wing crock I have. I was wanting to know the value of it. I’m not sure on the glaze, but it does have a chip out of it in the back. How ever it is not cracked anywhere else and the chip does not go clear through. The measurements on the crock is  Height is 10 1/2 inches and the Width is 10 inches. Any information would be great on this piece I really don’t know a whole lots on it.

Thank You

Kristen

Answer:

Kristen, Your 3 gallon crock with a black ski oval with birch leaves is a harder one to find. Even with the chip in back I would say still a $125 crock.

Question:

I have this Red Wing 4 gallon butter churn and was wondering of the age and worth ?

It is in very good condition, no cracks or chips.

Thanks

Craig

Answer:

Craig, A nice looking and clean 4 gallon Red Wing churn complete with lid  can be around $300  Sharper the sheen of the glaze with a clear and dark wing, oval and number, then higher the value.  This has a big oval that dates it around 1912. I do see a line right in front that devalues your churn to around $150 with lid.
