Question:
Hello Collectors, could you please tell me anything about this piece? I would appreciate it. It was purchased by my Son-In-Law in Green Bay,Wis. It has a dimple on the side with the Red Wing mark , otherwise it’s perfect. The leather handle has very little wear, and the cork is excellent as well.( I haven’t tried to remove it)I am interested in Red Wing and have had some really nice pieces. I want to know how old it is, where it was made, who do you think made it, and if you can what it’s worth? Thank you very much!! I am going to try to e-mail some pics but I have never done it before so if you don’t get them please let me know.

Red Wing Rumrill Rocket Vase
Question:
I have a 2 toned green vase that is 7 inches tall, and marked with only 424 on the bottom….I was told it was Redwing….it has very appealing floral embossing on 2 sides and very unusual bottom. Is it indeed Redwing??
Answer: Yes, this is a Red Wing product. It’s actually called RumRill, but made by Red Wing all the same. There are several similar shapes like this, called "Rocket" vases. They were made in the mid thirties. It has a value of around 80.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Native American Portrait Artware
Question:
Is this a Red Wing piece? Can you tell me anything about? I have a picture of the mark on the bottom, but could not seem to send with the picture of the pot. it seems to be a flower with 812 and what looks like S M The mark on the cheek is reflected light, not a mark on the pot.
Answer: Hello, it’s not Red Wing, but I think it may be a Rookwood piece. Their mark is an "R" with marks above it, or flames. The number would be the shape and SM is the artist. Hand decorated, and very desireable by collectors with the native american portrait. If you can, send another pic of the bottom, and I will be able to say for sure. It’s a valuable piece. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing Mini Jugs
Question:
I wanted to know if these are Red Wing Fancy jugs. The smallest one is 2 1/2 inches tall and is marked Betis & Johnson, Fort Smith Arkansas on the front. There is no marking on the bottom. The second has a paper label that reads Bourbon Whiskey The Sanford Pharmacy 8 Main Street Boonville, NY and is marked R.W. S.W. Co on the bottom. It is 4 inches tall and has some glaze skips and a small chip at the bottom. I was guessing from the website that this might be a 1/8 and 1/4 pint, but the 4 inch jug holds about 1/2 pint completely full. I would love to know more about these! Thanks!
