Cowboy and Cowgril, light brown glaze, B1415 and B1414, Belle Kogan designer

Question:
I have two statues, one a cowboy and one a cowgirl with sort of a light brown glaze. The coyboy is marked Red Wing USA, B 1415. The cowgirl is marked Red Wing USA, B 1414. She is in perfect condition but the cowboy has been broken and repaired. Could you please tell me anything about these? I know nothing about Red Wing except the name…other than the repaired piece is greatly reduced in value. Thank you, Lana Robertson

Answer: Hi Lana

Your figurines were designed by Belle Kogan, in 1952. The solid glazed ones, like you have are worth around 100.00 each, in perfect condition. so half that or less for the broken one. They are meant to be a pair. thanks, steve n rose
