Christmas Tree Stand

Question:
I have a Christmas Tree Holder. It is stoneware. On one side of the holder "Christmas Tree Holder" is glazed in blue. On the opposite side, in a rectangular blue box is "Patent Applied For," and above it in an oval blue shape is, "Red Wing, Union Stonewrae Co.,Red Wing, Minn." I would like to sell it. How much should I ask and where does one go to sell these, other than EBay. Thank you. Amy Jo Reimer Myers
