Question:
Al your recent posting on the Brown Spongeware Spittoon I believe to be in error. Yes this spitton shown in the picture is a Red Wing product.

Capistrano Pattern, bowl 9 inch, Anniversary Line
Question:
I’m looking for a value on a Red Wing bowl. The # on the bottom is kind of hard to make out, I think 1126. The wing says Red Wing, hand painted with USA printed below the wing. All the printing on the bottom looks purple. The bowl is nearly triangular with a lip on one of the points. There are a couple of small chips on that lip. The painting includes a swallow, fruit, & some grasses. About 9 inches in diameter. Thank you.

2 gallon Red Wing Churn
Question:
I have a #2 Red Wing water cooler and was wondering if you believe it has been repaired or not. I was told it has never been, but can see a seam on the side, seems to go on the bottom, and perhaps continue onto the other side. Inside the crock I can feel a seam too, however that seem doesn’t match up with the one on the outside. Thanks so much for you help. Sarah
