I inherited a statue that i was told was red wing. My mohter told me it was valuable and also had some notes written about it. She said it was called "school boy" and also thought it was numbered 1121 or 1122. he is a boy holding an apple behind his back and is about 8" tall or so. can you confirm this to be red wing and if so can you provide an approximate value so ai may insure it? I would appreciate it much. thanks! Tim

Question:
I have a yellow redwing vase, appears ti be stoneware, with the number B or D – i can’t make out which followed by 905 i would appreciate knowing what the signifycance of the number inscription is thanx ron walter
Answer: Hi Ron.
It’s not considered stoneware, but part of the art pottery line. The B would be for designer Belle Kogan. The number doesn’t quite match anything I have, try another look, there may be another number in there. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I am attempting to identify the manufacturer of a sand ashtray. It has two moose on the front and around the back it has a pine and deciduous trees. A photo of the front is attached. There are no manufacture marks on the outside or inside. The outer has a "sand" finish, while the inside is glazed. It is 15" high and the diameter is approximately 12 1/2". When I bought it, it had a circular sheet metal tray which was filled with white silica sand to put cigarettes out. It was previously in the old St. Paul Labor Temple, which was torn down some 30 years ago. Any information you are able to provide will be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
Answer: Hi Bill
this does appear to be Red Wing, and it is actually called a sand or lobby jar. Used for an ashtray. It dates to the early 30′s. Shape * 107. We call it the deer or stag sandjar. Nice item, value is around 4-500 if marked. there may be a circular ink stamp on the bottom. thanks, steve n rose
