Question:

My mom had purchased this Red Wing sugar and creamer set when I was younger at an auction. I have tried to research this but I get no where. I am unsure if these are common since people I talk to have not seen any.

Can you please help me with this? I have attached a few pictures also.

Thanks!

Kathy

Answer:

The photo shows a turquoise sugar and creamer from the Gypsy Trail line.  Gypsy Trail was a large line of dinnerware that included four primary patterns and many accessories that could be used with any of the patterns.  An undated catalog from the late 1930s assigns this sugar and creamer to the Plain pattern.  They were made from the late 1930s to 1943.  Collectors sometimes refer to this set as the “Snack” sugar and creamer to differentiate them from a second sugar and creamer set in the Plain pattern.   This set in the standard Gypsy Trail colors (turquoise, yellow, orange and blue) is quite common.  Value for this set would be $25-30 if both pieces are in excellent condition.
