Red Wing M1467
Question:
I assume this piece would be catagorized as artware. It was part of an estate settlement that included items dating from 20 to 150 years old. It appears to be a dove. The inscription on the bottom says: Red Wing USA M1467 I’ve included some pictures. We are obviously interested in any background information and value.

Red Wing Nokomis Lamp
Question:
At first I thought this lamp was a converted vase, but it appears as though it was made to be a lamp. I previously sent to you the picture of a vase with the same mold number. What is curious about this piece is that the vase has a concave top and this one was made with a convex top – strange because it appears to have the same mold number. The words Red Wing are not shown on this piece, but the mold number is very clear. There is no damage at all. Thank you for any help you can give on the valuation of this item.
Answer: This is just the variation of the #200 mold, used to make lamp bases. A lot of the molds had to have the top adjusted so a "stem" would fit. Not as many collectors do lamps, but this is still a very good item. Value around 500.00 thanks, steve n rose
