Question:
Hi, I am curious to see if you might have some information on a set of wall hangings that my Grandmother has. They are two violins that she has hanging on the wall that she has had for a long time. She had picked them up at a garage sale many years ago. They both have "Red Wing USA #907" written on them. I think they might be some kind of planter the way they have sort of a pocket in them. I don’t have any photos of them now but I would easily be able to take some good digital photos if it would help. I am looking to possibly find a date and value of the pieces and any other kind of information you might have on them. Thanks for reading
Answer: They are indeed wallpockets, or planters. They date from the early 60′s. They have a value of around 80.00 each. thanks, steve n rose
Hi, I found this piece of red wing, it is marked "Red Wing/ USA/ 1277" on the bottom under the glaze. It has a turquoise crackle finish with the interior being bronze. It measures 14" long by 3" wide by 4" high. I could not find it in the book but 1279 & 1280 have the same pattern on the exterior. Is this a known piece? And if so what would the value be? Thanks Mike
I actually have 2 pieces I’d love to know about. The first is a vase, measuring 7 1/2" tall, green outside and pink inside, about 5" wide and marked 505, Red Wing USA. The mark was impossible to photo – very thickly covered with glaze. It has some crazing, mainly inside, but no chips or cracks. The 2nd is a low planter, gray outside and bright pink inside. It measures 12" x 8" x 2". This piece has a few usage scratches inside, and one small chip visible from the top. It is marked Red Wing USA 1348. I am including links to that one’s photos as it looks like I can only upload one here on your form. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwbowl.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwbowlchip.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwplantermark.jpg Thanks so much for any information you can give me.

I have a bowl from my grandmother that is from the 1940′s or very early 1950′s. It’s blue on the outside, pink on the inside and has a very shiny finish. 10" diameter, 6.5 inches high, collared bottom with Redwing USA 977 impressed in the bottom. Has a small chip on bottom, a couple of manufacturer’s slub, no other cracks or chips, very little crazing and is in very good condition. Looking for value $$. Willing to sell. Thank you, Carrie
I have a Red Wing Canoe that measures 12 inches long. It has raised letters on the bottom saying Red Wing USA 735. I can not find anything about it. Can you help. I just put it on Ebay. Thanks Terri
