question from: chetrick@cox.net

Question:
Hi Al,
I have recently acquired a 2 gallon Red Wing birch leaf crock. It does not have an oval. I have read that this is uncommon. Is it? The crock does have two very small chips on the outside bottom edge. It also had a very small crack on the outside of the upper rim. The 2 and the birch leafs are in black.

Can you tell me the production date and the approximate value? Does the lack of the oval increase its value?

Thanks,
Chris Hetrick

Red Wing 436 vase

Question:
Howdy, I recived a Red wing vase for my birthday. It has a pale yellow exterior and an opaque peach interior. It’s about 9" high with a 3" base and marked Red Wing 436. Any thoughts on age and value?

hello

there are two different shapes with the 436 number, but neither match your description. A pic would work wonders for me. thanks, steve n rose

This guy called me and we talked about it on the phone. It sounds like the Kogan Prizmatique line. He is going to try and get a picture with one of his friends. He live in Minneapolis so I am going to try and hook up with him next week when I am there for Otto Bang’s funeral.

got your pic, thank you. the vase is from 1956, I think designed by Murphy. Value is around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
