Whoa now- no need to cop an attitude-
Just relaying known fact and public knowledge- you certainly may have dug up a few of them, however I have never seen them in any of the redwing books? Are all the folks who wrote those books wrong then? I think not- they may have made them but It is my contention that they were not put into production, most likely why you found somewhat intact examples at the DUMP- and as for the reference books-
maybe you are the one who should be reading them- Maybe you should be on the writing team for the next Potters and their Wares edition, I'm sure this fact would be of real interest to the thousands of RW collectors who are already under the opinion through fact that RW did not make Rolling pins- if you had then you would have realized that western stoneware has the proof and documentation to prove that they made them exclusively- in fact one of the first ones they made is in the smithsonian museum, the pin was a present to the first lady of the day, again I say, not every piece of stoneware was made by RW- although some still think that even with proof of the opposite-
do any of the others have a comment on this topic? gary?wally?
