This is a correct replacement cap for a Red Wing stone mason fruit jar. The cap is authentic and from the same time period as when Red Wing Union Stoneware Company manufactured their stone mason fruit jars. The cap is manufactured from zinc, has a porcelain liner and fits all Red Wing stone mason fruit jars.

The manufacturing company of the cap may vary.

Homesteaders needed a way to preserve food and the stoneware companies of Red Wing produced just the products they needed. Canning jars required a tin lid and rubber gasket to seal against the jar.

As soon as the Red Wing stoneware companies started making larger, utilitarian stoneware they made smaller stoneware pieces for use in the kitchen and on the table.

The stoneware companies of Red Wing, Minnesota produced stoneware items shortly after their inception in 1877 until the mid-1940's. The shapes of these items ranged widely. However, one overriding attribute describes them all: they were designed to be used. In fulfilling the needs of a developing America, the stoneware companies were hugely successful and their wares were very popular. The popularity of their wares has only increased over time making collecting Red Wing a growing field and exciting hobby!
