I have a 5 gallon Red Wing jug. I believe these jugs were used for molasses? Anyway, it has a 4 inch wing stamp and the oval stamp "Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. Red Wing, Minn. It is in very good condition with a very small "scrape" on the lip of the neck of the jug. I do not see any cracks anywhere on the jug. Would you be able to tell me it's worth by this description? It does not have any numbers printed on the bottom. I obtained this jug at an auction many years ago and actually there was still molasses inside of the jug. Any light you might be able to shed on the worth of this item would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Betty (Bee) Chizek
