Question:
Was wondering if you can tell me how much this Red Wing Union Stoneware Company 2 Gallon Water Cooler is worth and how old it is. It has a small chip on the lid that feels like it is glazed over, also on the back it looks like there is a small stain. Original handles with no rust, original spigot looks like it might be missing a rubber top where you push it in to get water. Has a 2 on the lid and some yellowing around 1/2 of the top. Overall I think it is in really good shape. I am able to forward more pictures to you if needed. Thank you so much for any help, we really appreciate it. Deann

Merrileaf Dinnerware set
Question:
My mother has a set of Red Wing Merrileaf Hand painted China. There are 12 place settings along with every serving pice available (she thinks). She purchased it new back in the 60′s. Can you please give ma an approximate value of this set. As far as I can tell, there are no chips on any of the pices. She has the coffee pot, teapot, celery dish, serving bowls and platters. Salt and pepper shakers, creamer and sugar. Thank you. Janet

Desert Sun Dinnerware pieces
Question:
Desert Sun dinnerware set; My set has:
12 dinner plates, I rate 3 in excellent and 9 in good condition.
12 salad plates, 3 excellent, 6 good, 3 fair.
7 cups and saucers all in excellent, 8th cup in fair.
5 bowls, 1 good, 3 fair, 1 poor but useable.
sugar and creamer in excellent.
A large two sided 4 in high, elongated with squared handles, server in excellent.
1 serving platter, elongated, with square handles in good.
My local antique dealer showed me a book with plates in this patern valued at $6-12, cups & saucer $7-10, sugar and creamer $15-25, small bowls $15-18. I did not realize I had the seving dish and the serving platter so I did not note the price. Do these prices sound current, what does it sound like my set might be worth? I saw 4 salad plates sell for $40 on E-Bay. Thank You Ross
