Question:
I have 2- 20 gallon crock lids in mint condition. They have a rose petal pattern on top and bale handles.I am interested in selling them and would like an idea of how much they are worth. One has the "20" hand written and appears to be a slightly different color than the other one. I suspect they are from different years.

Mini Canteen
Question:
I am sending you 2 pictures of my miniature canteen flask. In the 2 books on redwing pottery I have, it is not in there. It is identical in form to the Pierron miniature on page 127 of the Red Wing Collectables book by DePasquale, Peck, & Peterson. Values Updated 2006 edition. Have you ever seen one of these before? Do you think it is one of a kind? What kind of value do you think it has? Measures approx. 3 inches tall and 2 5/8 inches wide. Any input would be appreciated. Says St. Paul Minnesota July 21-22 1913 on one side. Says 9th Annual Encampment Department Of Minnesota U.S.W.V. on the other side. Ink is in black. Thank you for your time. Guy. I just found out you can only upload 1 picture.

Red Wing 430
Question:
I picked up a piece of pottery at a thrift store today which is marked "Red Wing USA 430" on the bottom. It is a very unusual design. It is a square, about 8" tall and 2" wide, which is slightly smaller on the front than the back (the sides slope front to back). There is a square cut out in the center with a bird figurine perched on it. It is green on the outside and yellow on the inside. The finish is a shiny glaze – the pottery under the glaze is white. It’s in pretty good condition, although the bird has a small chip off the end of the wing in the back. I can send a picture if you need one as soon as I dig up some batteries for the camera, although it’s so unusual I would think you could work off of the description! I would love to know anything about this piece. Thank you!
Answer: No pic is necessary, your description is very good (a shape number is even better). It was designed in 1953. The glaze color is called Woodland Green. It’ is an unusual shape. They have a value of around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
