Question:

Hi,

I’ve had a such great time looking through the archives and have a question of my own to add!

I have an ashtray marked Red Wing USA 695 that I recently purchased.  Looking to find out more about it (year and value), it is in great condition with no visible damage or wear.  I’ve pasted the photo below.  Thanks!!

Answer:

I was able to locate your piece in the Red Wing Art Pottery book by Ray Reiss. It was made in 1960 and it considered an ashtray. The value according to the book’s 2003 price guide is about $80. Stacy
