Question:
I have a Rumrill Ball Pitcher #547 – white with crudely painted red lines. Unglazed bottom. Has someone painted over the original pitcher.

Answer: I haven’t seen a factory cold paint done on one of these, so my guess is someone decided to "spruce" it up on their own. A little scrubbing should take off the red paint. They date to the late thirties, and have a value of around 70.00. thanks, steve n rose
