Produced c1900. Any chips/cracks? Will they clean up?

1900? Serious...? I gave it a quick wash with water and cleaned it out with water no leaks.. No obvious cracks /chips that I can see. It's part of family history so won't be selling but what would you guess their value?

Was think it was 1950s or so... Why you say 1900s?

Thanks by the way

There's a Gannon's butchers in Castlerea most likely a relative, Be worth a call to see if they wanted them as a display piece in the shop.

Afaik, not many made post c1900, used for quite a while after. Are they marked Port Dundas? The Gannon one is (guess!) 150 plus or minus. The othersare plain? If so much less 30/50. Very much top of my head. You could get people with Castlerea /local/county interest who might bid up if it were for sale.

Thanks for your replies.. I googled and found some interesting history about them all.. as its handy to do I've attached the stamps from the 3 stoneware (all different manufacturers)
