Question:
Hi, I have an old Red Wing spongeband crock lemon juicer-reamer that I hope to sell. It has 2 small chips, no cracks. It seems to be a hard-to find item as I have only located one on-line. It has no chips, is going for $795, and the seller claims it may be worth up to $1400! Any advice would be great! Thanks.

Answer: The seller of the Red Wing sponge-band reamer is corrected in his value of $1400. However, this price reflects a sponge-band reamer in MINT condition. With sponge-band, collectors demand mint. Yours with a couple of chips would most likely have a value in the range of $500 or a little over depending on the size of the chips. Al Kohlman
