Question:
I have two Western Stoneware crocks. One is a 15 gallon and one is a 5 gallon. No lids. No redwing. Both are in excellent shape. The 15 gallon one has "Western Stoneware" inside the maple leaf and the 5 gallon one has an oval at the base of it with "Western Stoneware" and the address in the oval. would you be able to tell me the worth of them and possibly someone in Arizona that might be interested in them? There are no cracks or "spider" cracks in them an no chips. Thank you

Red WIng 871 vase
Question:
I just received a RedWing vase from my mother-in-law. It still has the sticker on the front and is marked 871 on the bottom. It is a creamy white color on the outside and light green on the inside. She doesn’t think that she ever used it and probably received it as a wedding present in 1946. What is the value of the piece? Judy
Answer: Hi Judy
the 871 was designed in 1940, and made for a few years after that. Value is around 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Hamm’s Popcorn Set individual pieces
Question: What is the value of the individual pieces of the Hamm’s Popcorn Set.
Answer:
The smaller bowls are worth around $200 each, the larger bowl $500 and the single salt or pepper shaker around $100. These values assume the items are in excellent condition. The large bowl has an obvious large chip, which would reduce the value by at least 50-75%. The pitcher was made in China, not by Red Wing, and does not belong with the other pieces. I have no idea what the pitcher might be worth.
