Question:
I would like an idea of the value of a Red Wing sponge band pitcher advertising Sundberg Grocery and Meats and a 1914 cherry band pitcher that says compliments of August Beckler. It has a picture of the building on the front. Both are in excellent condition. Thank you, Nona

Answer: Nona, the values of these pieces are down because of the ecomony, but I will give you the book values so you have a ballpark to play with. Value of a Red Wing sponge band pitcher advertising Sundberg Grocery and Meats will have a value between $375 & $450. 1914 cherry band pitcher that says compliments of August Becker depends if it is the all white pitcher with or the one with the blue tinting. All white $3000 to $3500. Blue tint $5500 to $6000. Nice pieces. Al Kohlman
