Frankie; You have a standard Red Wing Self Draining Jar. It is not worth as much as a 60 gallon crock. This is due to the difficulty in displaying it with the tapered bottom and no wing. The Blue stamp is probably an incomplete oval stamp. Often times the decorator was in a hurry and didn't apply the oval completely. Your Jar with some damage is probably worth no more than $50-75. The lid however if it is not damaged is worth quite a bit. It should also fit a 60 Gal crock. They list for $750 but I have seen them sell for more!! I saw one a few months ago sell for $1100 in perfect condition. They are quite hard to find as the lids were broken fairly easily and a 60 gallon lid was not light.!!!! Hope that helps some. Steve L.
