Old Crock & press

My uncle's neighbor is cleaning out his mother in laws house and was going to get rid of a huge crock (2 ft diameter and up to his knee tall) and a press used to make wine. How much should I offer him?

If he was just going to get rid of them--just offer to take them off his hands . Seriiously--I have no idea--ask him what he wants for them and then work out something until your both happy. If you dont' watn them, I'd be glad to take them of your hands.

Don't feel bad about $50. I have seen one of theose crocks go for much more. Be happy with it. We all have a habit of beating ourselves up over--I should have offered less.. Plus think of it as helping the dude out, and NO TAXES!!!!!

Well I am hoping it is an antique crock and press just because I like old things and think they are made way better than junk today. AND they will most likely be made in the USA. Also I want antiques in my 1889 house! I love old stuff..that includes little old ladies and funny old men.teehee...in a good way!

Hey onebuggirl, don't let your hubby "should" all over you.

You did all right!

My gram also used to do salted beans in a crock. So many uses for those old things.
