Gotta love crocks!!! I have 9 here from my family. Some really big ones, and smaller ones. Most of mine are Canadian (Medalta)
Thank you for information, will check the leads. Correction on my item: Number 12 is Times Roman Wide Font. Would like to know the manufacturer and significance of the markings (anchor/12).
