Question:
I have a light green wall pocket violin. The number on the back is m-1484, it is stamped red wing usa. It also is stamped with black ink. "in appreciation schwen ice cream co." Can you tell me what it is worth? Thanks Jayme

Answer:
Hi Jayme, Your violin wall planter/pocket was introduced in 1955. Charles Murphy designed it. The violin is fairly common, worth around $60.00 or so—what makes it interesting is the advertising on the back. Not many art pottery pieces were stamped with advertising, making it very rare lndeed. I have heard of one other. It is difficult to give you a price with it being so unusual. Ebay would most likely be the way to go, and see what it does bring. Nice piece. thanks, steve n rose
