Looking for Suffield Crocks? Order On Line
|
If you didn’t have a chance to purchase a Suffield or West Suffield 350th anniversary crock earlier this year, you can still buy one at our partner’s website: AllSignsCo.com/stoneware.html. We chose their “oak tree” design (fourth row down) and selected the “Anderson” font that curves just a little bit. Top line text is either “Suffield, CT” or “West Suffield, CT” and the bottom line is “Est. 1670”. Crocks ship free to the lower 48 states, and their prices are the same as the 350th committee charged.
