I'm speaking on niche selling at eBay Live! this year, so I have been working hard at finding profitable niche markets. I've tried to find a good balance between:
- high average price
- intense interest from consumers
- high sell-through rate
- product availability
Red Wing Crocks
One product I found has great potential. Red Wing Crocks. I'd never heard of them until I started doing the research but it turns out Red Wing is a pottery company in Minnesota that makes some pretty desireable stuff.
Redwing Stoneware Company in Redwing, Minnesota started in 1877. In 1894 they merged with two other pottery companies and were called the Union Stoneware Company. One of the three later went out of business and the remaining two formed the Red Wing Union Stoneware Company. They settled on the name Red Wing Potteries, Inc. in 1936.
The vintage Red Wing crocks have several different markings on them that changed with the history of Red Wing. The vast majority of the Red Wing crocks have “Red Wing” written on them as an identifying mark. Other Red Wing crocks marks are:
- Union Stoneware Co.
- Minnesota Stoneware Co.
- RWSW Co.
