Wow great examples of Red Wing Stoneware crocks. The 2 gallon is a large wing and from the oval I can tell it dates from the early 1930's. The 5 gallon has a small wing and probbly marked Red Wing Potteries. This piece probly dates from the later part of the 30s or early part of 1940s. Red Wing ceased Stoneware procduction by 1945 and focused primarly on dinnerware and art pottery. You can learn more about value and history of the Red Wing Potteries at http://www.RedWingCollectors.org
Stacy Wegner, Red Wing Collectors Society
