Question:
Greetings Al, Just a quick question pertaining to Indiana advertising. I haven’t seen much anywhere and would like to know if there is quite a few different pieces that might be available if they were not safely tucked away in individuals collections? Thanks for your time and knowledge. -Paul

Answer: Paul, I have seen Indiana advertising, but very little of it. When it comes up for sale, it is quickly bought up by collectors. I have a fellow collector who has a few Indiana advertising pieces (one of which I sold to him) in various sizes. With Indiana being closer to the Western Stoneware Company then Red Wing, it only stands to reason that fewer businesses contracted with Red Wing. So the picking is tough. You may want to place an ad in the Red Wing Collectors Society Newsletter in hopes of finding a collector who is willing to part with their Indiana advertising pieces. Good luck, they are out there.
