Question:
My wife was an avid and aggressive collector ( # 799 ) of all things Red Wing. She passed 18 months ago. I am now in the process of inventorying somewhere close to 400 pieces of Red Wing Dinnerware, crocks, jugs, art ware, commemeratives and collectibles. I’m looking for advice about how to approach the sale of a very large collection. According to the “identify & price” books I’ve purchased, I have some very rare and expensive items in this collection.
Thanks Ted
Answer:
We feel your best bet for selling such a large collection would be have a well advertised auction. As long as your auction is well advertised, Red Wing collectors will find it. We have seen collectors come from all over the US for special pieces. Good Luck SteveNRose
News on the Members Only site.
Welcome to the “Members Only” portion of the web site. This is where you will access all of the Society business. A new option that will be available in the very near future is the Discussion Forum. The Discussion Forum will have four main categories: Recent Finds, Auctions, Society News and Newsletter Article Discussions. The Discussion Forum is the venue for members to talk with other members. It will also offer information and at the same time solicit information and feedback from the members.
The goal for this web site is to offer RWCS members a valuable service. Please offer any feedback regarding any changes and additions that you would find to be beneficial. All suggestions will be considered. Thank you.
The RWCS is not accepting new “Ask the Experts” questions at this time.
If you are looking for information about a piece of Red Wing, you can search several years of “Ask the Experts” answers using either the search bar above or the menu choices under “Ask the Experts” on the blue bar.
We are reviewing the possibility of making “Ask the Experts” available again in the future; check this page in the future for changes.

You are viewing the new "Look and Feel" of the RWCS web site. Check out the new face and the new features we are able to offer. For example, you will notice there are "Public" and "Members Only" features. While we love to educate others about the wonderful products made by Red Wing and even answer questions to help people find out if it really is Red Wing; at the same time there are some times when to coin the phrase "membership has its privileges". In order to access some features, you do have to be a member in good standing and give us your email address and membership number to gain access.
Do check out the other new features such as the search function, latest news and continue to watch for new articles and pictures. Ask the Experts will soon be a new feature on the public site. We will have three well-known and very knowledgeable RWCS members who will answer your questions regarding Red Wing products.
Again, this is a good start but it is a work in progress. We really do stress that this is a work in progress and you will continue to find new features and information so come back.
Stay tuned and please, tell us what you think. Just "contact us".
