Question:

I see in the reference books/price guides that the the ones with no handles with the 2 marked on the inside bottom are quite valuable – they also say that all 2 gallon water coolers are rare – does mine carry the same value as the no handle style? Thanks Dennis

3 Canoes, #734, 735, 733
Question:
My sister-in-law has 3 Red Wing canoes. 9" #734, 12" # 735, and 17" #733. They are glazed, off white, with brown antiquing. She believes they are the Birch Bark Line. They say Red Wing on the bottom with the numbers. She would like to know the value of these three canoes, and are they really celery holders, as she has been told. Thank you very much, Jane
Answer: Hi Jane, they are part of the birch bark line, circa 1960. Art pottery, not celery holders!! altho they would work for that, I guess.. Value is around 700.00 for all three. thanks, steve n rose
