Question:
This belonged to my grandfather and he was using it as an ashtray. He was born around 1880 and died in 1972. Can you tell me approximately when then was made and does it have any value? On the bottom it is marked "RED WING USA", and has the number 3005. Thanks Scott

I have a pink lamp with a painting on it that looks french revolution period. It has gold trim. On the bottom it looks like a D impressed on it. It has gold painted hanldes and a chain to turn the light on. Could you estimate a worth? Thanks, Bob
Answer: Hi Bob
it doesn’t look like any shapes we have in our books. they did do so similiar to this, though. Looks to be from the late 40′s-early 50′s. Wish I could be of more help with a maker and a value. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
further questions; could you describe what style of container it is? Preserve or Snuff container? could this have been a Northstar production? Is there anyone that I could contact that would know? Thanks again Levi

Question:
Al – I’ve got a Red Wing 6-Gallon Ice Water cooler, with a bold blue Ice Water logo (a little weak on the very bottom of the "R" in "Water"), and a full and complete large red wing logo (not a particularly bright, nor dull tone of red). There is an extremly minor 4" hairline near the rim. There is also a spiderweb of hairlines (visible only from the inside) in the center of the base, as well as a small chip in the center of the inner base. In a previous note to you, with photo, you guesstimated the value (with damage) to be in the $400 range. I now have another couple questions. Is the value considerably increased if I had the lid and/or spigot, and if so, how do I find and buy the correct lid and spigot, and about what would it cost? Or, if the cork currently in the spigot hole is an original, and no spigot was ever inserted, does that somehow add any value? And, what is the significance of this cooler "not" having an oval below the Red Wing logo, and how does that impact the value? Thanks Al.

No hurry as we realize everyone is getting ready for Convention. "Are we there yet?" But perhaps after July 12th, maybe Larry and/or Terry can take a look at the attached photo(s) and give us an estimated value for the 4 snack sets. Thanks, guys. We really appreciate you Jerry.

Question:
I have a 7 quart jar/crock that has an albany slip glaze. My father thinks it maybe Canadian, it has been sitting in a barn(no damage or scratches) but we haven’t found any markings such as labels or anything that would say its definitely Red Wing, but my father swears it is. the dimensions are 10 in. high and the top is 5 in. across in diameter.
