Question:
I picked up this pair of mint condition pitchers today at a church rummage sale for $4 apiece. They are marked Red Wing USA #1082. They are about 9″ tall. Can you tell me when they were made and what the current value is?
Thanks
Jeanne
Answer:
According to the Red Wing Art Pottery Two book by Ray Reiss the 1082 were made in 1941 and valued in the 2003 price guide at 40-60
Question: 
Hi, My friend gave me this awesome vase and i wanted to know was it worth anything. Her grandmothers vase
Answer:
Your piece shape is actually 1067 from 1941. The Exterior glaze is shell ivory antique and the inside is Rochelle line. According to Red Wing Art Pottery Two by Ray Reiss and his price guide the value in 2003 was around 300. I have not seen one of these recently sell so more current value is unknown.
Question: 
We have a Lotus vase in blue with pink inside and cannot find any info on the value of this. Can you help? Is the blue a rear color?
Answer:
You have a Red Wing Vase 930 and it came in a number of colors. According to the Red Wing Art Pottery Two book by Ray Reiss the price guide says the value for a burgundy/ white combo is 60-80. I know that that particular glaze combo can be more valuable that the color combo you have to a collector; so, the value for yours may be closer to 60-80.
Question 
I hope you can give me some information on the maker and time of these two crocks. Thank You In Advance, Ron
Answer
Ron the 4 gallon salt glazed crock on the right is a Red Wing drop 8 with quotations. It was produced between 1877 & 1895. Value is between $200 & $250 if in perfect condition. The 4 galloon salt glazed crock on the left would be called a lazy 8 target. It is not Red Wing. Not being Red Wing, I just have no idea of value or history. Al Kohlman
Question 
Al, This piece is about the same size as a 20lb. butter crock. Would it be considered a butter crock or what was its use & value? No cracks, chips or repairs. Thanks
Answer
Yes these were used for butter crocks. They use to sell in the $1000 range years ago. Today $700 to $800. Al Kohlman
Question: 
Hi my name is Dana & Jen, both my wife and I are first year members of RWCS. I was at an Estate Auction this last weekend. This bottle was up and was listed at Red Wing Foot Warmer. The decal on the front says. SPORT GOODS, KENNEDY BROS. ARMS CO. SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA. I am a former Archaeologist and enjoy any type of history, pre-historic or historical. How rare is this jug. I don’t collect this type or Red Wing. It needs a home. Thanks, hope to hear from you.
This bottle has a brown glaze is 12″ high and has a diameter of 6 1/2″ is triangle shape, 3 sided and weighs 6 pounds 2.6 ounces.
Answer:
Dana & Jen, I have not seen this advertising on a Red Wing foot warmer before. This sticker may have been added to the foot warmer either by a company employee, someone applying the sticker and trying to push this off as a Red Wing advertising piece or just a piece that was near when someone acquired the sticker and wanted to place it on something. If the company wanted advertising on this piece from the Red Wing Stoneware Company, they would have commission Red Wing to apply an ink stencil under the glaze. I know of no applied sticker advertising ever being produced by Red Wing. With all this being said, your Red Wing foot warmer without the cap would have a value in the area of $30 to $40.
Question
My parents both recently passed away, and these two crocks were in their house. My parents are originally from Minneapolis/Duluth and my grandparents owned a grocery store in Minneapolis back in the 40s-50s. I assume these came from the store. I know the pics aren’t great, and I can go back to their house to take better ones (and also of the bottoms if that helps), but I’d like to know more. I’d like to know an idea of their value, thanks Anita
Answer
Anita, the 5 gallon Red Wing crock has a value between $70 & $80 if in perfect condition. The 8 gallon Red Wing butter churn has a value today between $700 & $800. You might want to try Craigslist to sell your pieces. Best of luck on your sales. Al Kohlman
