Wow!  Just goes to show … no matter how tight the economy is, collectors will still pay dearly for rare pieces.  This Rare Red Wing 5 Gallon hand turned salt-glazed beehive jug has a flower design and is marked Minnesota Stoneware Co. Red Wing.  The mark dates from 1883 - 1906.

The bottom is unmarked. This jug sold for $15,000 in May 2009 on ebay.
