Question:
I spoke to a very helpful lady from Red Wing Collectors this evening who instructed me to provide this picture of the Red Wing plates I recently acquired. I believe the pattern is Golden Viking, but the coloration may indicate a varaition or possible "lunch hour" plate. I have a 40+ set of plates, bowls, etc and among the set their is some pretty distinct variation between green/yellow/gold colors.

Chip Dip
Creamer
3 serving bowls large to small:
8 dinner plates
8 salad plates
6 nappy
7 saucers, no cups
9 cereal bowl
12-14 in platter
6 – 8 platter
8 small plates

Any help with identification, date of production and value would be much appreciated. Thanks! Glenway

Question:
I inherited a very large collection of Village Green dinnerware that was originally purchased in 1955 at Gump’s, a San Francisco luxury store. I am considering selling the entire collection, comprised of 16 dinner plates, about 30 small bread and butter plates, 20 saucers, 11 cereal bowls, and a large assortment of serving pieces, plate covers and miscellany. The odd numbers are a result of the loss of one box of items but there are still plenty of pitchers, beverage servers, casseroles, covered and divided vegetable plates and platters. Would you suggest that I sell the collection as a lot or break it up? This was the gentleman’s "rustic ware" for outdoor parties. From what I hear, they were quite some parties! Thank you Sue

Question:
HI, I recently found a red wing Bob white water cooler at a thrift store,It is in excellent condition except the lid is missing. It has no cracks and has the spigot with it. I saw on your site where you had valued one identical to mine between 500.00 – 750.00. My question is do you know where I may find a lid to with mine? And if not how much is mine worth without the lid? thank you very much, Kaye Weaver
