20 gallon Bee Sting
Question:
Al, I just recently purchased this crock and didn’t know if you could give me some info on it? It looks like it could be a bee sting and just be a little faded but I’ve never seen a 20 be sting before so I can’t compare it. Could you give a possible value? There are no cracks, and just a few chips on the rim that are in the picture. Thanks, Matt

Red Wing Bowl 562, Figurine 563, and Candlesticks 622
Question:
Please confirm if these items are Red Wing or Rumrill. I would like to know the age and value. Items: Bowl, number 562 Figurine, number 563 Candle Stick Holders, number 622 regarding the Candle holders…in one of your links you had identified the holders by the "Red Wing Mark"… none of these items have a "Red Wing Mark." http://www.redwingcollectors.org/content/view/5239/116/
Mike
Answer: Hi Mike
these are both RumRill designs, made by RedWing. They were made around 1938/39. There may just be the number, no makers mark on them, but they are the real item. Value for both is about 350.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing art deco ashtray, shape 1586
Question:
May I please get an approximate value of the Red Wing item I have attached a picture for. In excellent condition; no cracks, chips, etc. You can see the markings clearly by the picture. I believe this to be an ash tray. Thank you. Kathy
Answer: Hi Kathy
I can’t think of the number, right off my head, but this does date to the fifties, kind of late for art deco, but I do agree, it does have that style. Value for this one is around 65.00 or so, it doesn’t show up very often. thanks, steve n rose
