My mother-in-law has what appears to be a 25 gallon brown glazed crock with “elephant ear” handles approximately 171/2″ tall by 14″ across that is signed J. A Bauer, Manufacture, Preston Street, Louisville, Kentucky. She says there is an “X” mark on the crock, as well.I haven’t seen anything like this on the various web sites…is this an old, old one and might you have an idea what it was used for or it’s value. Thanks

I have a light tan colored crock that maybe holds 10 galons of water. It has J.A.Bauer Pottery Co, Los Angeles inside an image of an orange that is outlined blue. Above this is the number 6 in the same blue. Again this is not painted. Could you please help me with the approximate age of this crock and what it was used for? Thank you
Gary

this message is to Michael Bush from a feb 2011 message. I just bought a Bauer crock like you described for $80.00, I think that is a good price. It has logo and #5 on it, California made. Can anyone say if this is a good or bad deal.I can not find the crock anywhere in the Bauer inventory
