Here, we offer what I attribute to Robinson Ransbottom.... A 5 Gallon crock cover. Atop the piece, we find the number 5 in blue. Beside that number 3, is another (Incised) in the opposite direction. The early history of Robinson-Ransbottom is complex. The company began as Johnson, Whitmore and Co. in 1856 offers in Akron, Ohio. In 1862, the company changed its name to Whitmore, Robinson and Co. Products included Rockingham, stoneware and yellowware. In 1900, the E.H. Merrill Co. merged with Whitmore, Robinson and Co. to create the Robinson-Merrill Co. By 1902, the company became the Robinson Clay Products Co. In 1920, Robinson Clay Products of Akron combined with the Ransbottom Brothers Pottery of Roseville to create Robinson-Ransbottom. Four brothers began the Ransbottom Brothers Pottery around 1900. The pottery was located in Ironspot, a mile north of Roseville. At the time of the merger, Ransbottom Brothers made utilitarian stoneware and bricks. Utilitarian products included bowls, churns, milk pans, poultry fountains, preserve jars, etc. Robinson-Ransbottom manufactured pieces under a variety of trademarks, e.g., "Old Colony," "Rustic Ware," "Luxor, " Tionesta Art Ware," "Meal Makers Oven Ware," and "Early Stoneware American." Old Colony and Rustic Ware were introduced in the 1930s, with Old Colony remaining in production until 1940 and Rustic Ware being produced into the 1960s. NO real chips, cracks, etc! In quite impressive condition. It measures 12-3/8" in outside diameter, with the underside lip having an outside diameter of 9-3/4" to 10-1/2" (Keep in mind the taper). Each, and every time I come across a crock cover; I buy them! Rest assured, this will be packed accordingly! Never had one break in shipment yet. With that said, I just shipped one into Canada last week. I have in excess of 10,000 online sales.....
