Question:
Just bought a Red Wing tepee ashtray at an antique store and was quite taken with it. On the bottom, it is marked Red Wing U.S.A. 827. It is also hand painted with the name Pauline ’68 engraved in the bottom. I’m wondering if it wasn’t painted by the owner. Look forward to your feedback.

Answer: The potteries closed in 1967, so this would have been done at a hobby shop, not at the potteries. cute decoration, though. Value around 15.00. thanks, steve n rose
