WHILE I WAS GOING TO COLLEGE AT WAHPETON NORTH DAKOTA IN 87-88, I WOULD GET MY CHECK FROM THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION THEN I USED TO GO TO THE  WAHPETON MUSEUM AND BUY 200-300 PAIRS OF ROSEMEADE SALT AND PEPPER SETS!WHEN I FIRST STARTED BUYING ROSEMEADE AT THE WAHPETON MUSEUM YOU COULD GO IN THE BASEMENT AND THERE ON THE FLOOR DIVIDED BY PLYWOOD WERE THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF ROSEMEADE!

THIS WAS STOCK THAT WAS LEFTOVER WHEN THE POTTERY COMPANY CLOSED & GIVEN BY THE POTTERY COMPANY  TO THE MUSEUM!

BACK THEN NONE OF WHAT WAS IN THE BASEMENT WAS MARKED WITH THE STICKER!SO THEY GAVE ME SEVERAL HANDFULS OF STICKERS TO PLACE ON THE POTTERY MYSELF!

LATER AS WE DID THIS(WE BOUGHT THERE EVERY MONTH FOR A 1 1/2 YEARS) THEY NO LONGER HANDED OUT THE STICKERS AS THEY(MUSEUM)WAS GETTING COMPLAINTS THAT PEOPLE WERE GETTING THE ROSEMEADE STICKERS AND PLACING THE STICKERS ON NON ROSEMEADE ITEMS!

SO WHEN BUYING ROSEMEADE , GET TO KNOW IT AND REALLY FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE COLOR OF THE CLAY!DO NOT JUST PAY BIG MONEY FOR A PIECE OF POTTERY JUST BECAUSE IT HAS THE ROSEMEADE STICKER..

WHEN IT WAS ALL GONE, WE WERE TOLD AT THE TIME THAT WE HAD BOUGHT THE 2ND MOST ROSEMEADE POTTERY  FROM THE MUSEUM SOMEONE FROM THE TWIN CITIES IN MINNESOTA WERE FIRST!!

HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR QUALITY NORTH DAKOTA CLAY PRODUCTS AS THEY REALLY ARE  NEAT TREASURES!!
