Question:
I have 2 cream colored floral vases that I would love to know more about i think they are very old the # on the larger one is 1216 and the smaller one # is 860 also i have a #5 lg. crock with wooden handles on the side is DEO 21st. 1915 is that the date made? what is the value? thank you .

Answer: Your 1216 vase is from the Magnolia Group and came in at least 2 sizes, and was produced around 1946. Value is approximately $65. Your 860 vase if it has a raised tulip design is from around 1938 and has a value of about $65 or could be an ashtray from 1964 with a value of around $25

We will defer any values of crocks to the crock experts.

The Dec 21st 1915 date on the side of your Red Wing crock is a patent date for the handles. This is the date when Red Wing began applying handles to their crocks. Value on a 5 gallon Red Wing crock in mint condition will vary from a low of $60 to as high as $100. All depends on how large the wing, balanced the decorations and how dark and complete the decorations are. Al Kohlman
