Question:
WE live on a ranch in Eastern Oregon and have quite a few interesting items we are looking up after going through one of the older farm houses on the ranch. We found the following vase: Redwing #889 if red one way or if you red it the other way it is #688. I think it is the 688 because of the period after the last 8 in 688. White – 13 inches tall cast in the likeness of a flower opening from the sheath.

Answer: Hi, this is a 688, circa 1938-39, when the Rumrill artware was being discontinued. Nice size, it has a value of about 75.00 or so. Keep looking, you may be surprised at what you will find! thanks, steve n rose
