Its markings read RED WING USA the I.D. reads M-3005.It has a raised center that is square and has three grooved sections with a seam coming from each corner going upwards to the outsides of each outer corner. It is divided in four contour sections which somewhat, looks like a four leaf clover. What time frame was it made and what might be the estimated value?

Answer:
Hello
It’s part of the Decorator line of 1959. Value is around $35.00 or so.
