my parents have a red wing ashtray cream colored which is marked xx801 and is 10 inches in diameter. We can’t find one anywhere on the Internet and were wondering when it was made and what it is worth. Thanks for any advice
Answer: There is an 801, from 1963, but it’s a chip/dip piece triangular in shape, I don’t think that’s what you have. A pic would be great, Red Wing made hundreds of ashtrays. thanks, steve n rose
