1/17/05 Last year a gentleman was kind enough to let the
Red Wing Museum copy a large stack of material he'd acquired from the estate of a salesman. The
Museum in turn let me scan in the parts that pertain to dinnerware. Over the past several months
I've got the scans tweaked for web format and now they're getting inserted into web pages.
The first of these photos have been posted in the Anniversary brochure section. Over the next
couple of weeks I'll be processing the rest. There are far too many to list here, so check back
periodically under your favorite pattern to see if there's anything new. The deadline for
getting this all done is February 11 - just in time for the Mid Winter convention.

We just got back from a trip to the west coast for a wedding. On
the way back we dropped by Seattle to visit Wally and snap a few pictures
of his extensive collection --214 to be exact. We could have
easily stayed another week to take hundreds of more pictures. Wally
and his wife Jessie have an absolutely amazing collection of Red Wing dinnerware,
art pottery, and odds and ends they've picked up through the years. 9/23/00 Thumbnails
added for patterns and pieces.
