Red Wing 913 tiki figural
Question:
Hi – i’m hoping you can tell me a little about this piece i have. I have searched the web and can’t find another one like it, so it makes me wonder if it is a real red wing. the # is 913, its an indian, i don’t know what. if it is red wing maybe you could tell me what you think the value is. Thanks!
Answer: It is red wing. part of the bronze line, circa 1965. this one looks to have been painted gold sometime in it’s life. The paint can be stripped off if you like. I believe it’s a candleholder. Value is around 85.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Concord Line Divided Vegetable Dish
Question:
I have a dinnerware peice that looks like a 2 section vegetable bowl. The peice is 11 1/4 in. long 6 3/4 in wide 2 inches deep. Sectioned into two. Looks like one large white flower (maybe a rose) with light green leaves in each section. I can’t make out what it says under the words red wing in between the red wing logo. Then it say 2 (wierd symbol) 3. I found it in my Grandmothers house after she passed away. Curious of the value.

Shell Shaped Ashtrays
Question:
Thank you for the assistance. I have two shell shaped ash trays in the orange glaze color. They were used at one time I’m sure but are in very good condition with only one small chip on one of them. I have seen a green one on E-Bay but can’t find the orange ones anywhere. Thank you again. JIm
Answer: We got the pic, thank you! they are from the mid sixties. One of many ashtray designs done during this time. Value on the good one, 25.00 or so. Half that on the chipped one. thanks steve n rose
