Answer: Red Wing made several bird bath’s, around 1929, it might be shape #711. it sounds like your description. Nice items, and to have it marked with all the parts will discount the base chip. Value is around 1000.00.

Question:
I was cleaning out my cabinets and found a pitcher that I purchased at a yardsale in 1976. It is round and pale yellow and has the mark "1547 Rummrill" on the bottom. Do you have any idea as to it’s origin and possible value.

Answer: Hi, I think this may be an Ohio RumRill item, not one made by Red Wing. When George left Red Wing, he worked for other companies. This number doesn’t fit in Red Wings sequences. Value around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Is this a Red Wing item, and if so can you tell me when it was made, how rare it is, and a range of possible value? The height is fifteen inches and diameter is twelve inches. The condition is very good, with no chips. It was bought at a North Carolina auction and represented as being from a well-known old resort hotel in Pinehurst. Also, if it is a sand jar, how did that name originate?

Answer: It could be Red Wing, it’s real hard to say for sure, unless they are marked. RRP out of Ohio did the same mold, and similar brushware glaze. It is a lobby/sand jar. They were used in larger establishments for ashtrays, being filled with sand, hence "sand jar". If it’s marked the value is around 500.00 or so, not marked around 250-275 range. thanks, steve n rose
