Hi, I have a Hamm’s Bear Bank,circa 1950. The only thing is that both legs were broken & replaced, so it now has cracks in them showing they were broken. What would the value of this be if I had wanted to sell it? What can I expect to get if I placed it for sale? I will be anxiously awaiting your response. Thank you, CHERYL
Answer: Hi Cheryl
they usually sell for 300 or better in mint condition, I would expect it to bring less than half that. thanks, steve n rose

the magnolia line was pretty popular, with a lot of different shapes. This one is worth around 75.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have a pair of bookends finished with a dark brown glaze. On one bookend is a seated Indian Chief and on the other a seated Indian woman. "Red Wing" is written into a small area beneath the woman. There are numerous indentions into the clay which look like a sharpened pencil was inserted– I’m guessing it was to keep the clay from exploding during firing due to excess thickness. Any idea whether these are made by Red Wing??? They are rather "arts and crafts" looking. Frank
Answer: Hi Frank
hard to say for sure, it’s not a listed factory item. some items were made at the factory by workers that we call lunch hour pieces, not a catalog piece. If the clay is red, it could be a sewer tile item as well. A pic would be most helpful, if you can do that. thanks, steve n rose
