Bean Pot

Question:
Hello! It’s Sam the 10 year Old Red Wing Collector Again!!! I have a question about A Bean Pot I purchesed in Rochester, MN for a $1. It is a Red Wing Advertising Beanpot with advertising as follows: Banner Oil Company, SUPER-SEVICE STATION, 6TH and MAIN, BROOKINGS, – S. DAK. GOODYEAR TIRES. It is all in bright blue, the first and last lines a bit darker than the rest. It is in very good condition, with the original lid.There are some glaze bubles and glaze pops in the brown area, One very small and minor chip on the back (not facing the advertising)and some glaze skips near the sets of 3 impreneted lines on the bottom.There is a small chip on the lid. I bought it for a Dollar because there was a decal over the advertising and I couldn’t see it then. But when I got it to my Grandma’s house, I saw Blue under the decal. We got it off though,with no hurt to the Bean Pot. The lady who we got it from had got it when she and her husband bought a casino/resort in Northern MN, It was there. She liked the beanpot but hated the advertising. This was the bean pot that was in the Dec. 06 RWCS Newsletter under Deals and Finds. I have gotten a appraisal from the owner/operator of the Old Rooster Antique Mall in Rochester of $250-$300. Is it worth this? In the books I have looked at they say $125-$150. I really like your responce to my question about my jug. I would have never guessed! Have a nice day! Sam the 10 year old Red Wing Collector P.S. There was a antique dealer right ahead of us at the Rummage Sale!! The great deal he missed! =)

Red Wing Vase

Question:
I have a couple pieces of Red Wing…but not very knowledgable on them as I got them from my mom who now has Alzheimers…and was once VERY knowledgable in most all collectibles…unfortunately all she can comment on now is that the pieces are very good…but not much more than that. The one in question is it is stamped with a circular blue inked "Red Wing Art Pottery" with a number that can be either 909 or 606 depending on which way you hold it! My other pieces are impressed with name Red Wing. It has also considerable crazing which I think adds to it’s attractiveness…but I have no idea if that is good or not. Also I have another piece which is not marked anywhere and totally clueless on it which I will probably have to send in another e-mail as the max is 2mb here. I am anxious to learn…Thank-you so much.
