Your pots are not shown in Roberts' book. Roberts states marks like the ones on your pots were used in the early years of the pottery: 1910 - 1935.

They remind me of Brush Pottery's Kolorkraft line which was a late 1920's early 1930's line. </p><p><br /></p><p>At least at the time of Roberts book there was little company documentation for this early period. I am not a Hull collector but I see no reason not to believe these are genuine. I would think they are rare as I've never come across them in my years of pottery collecting but what that means as far as pricing goes I really can't provide too much advice. I would assume they would fall roughly where similarly marked pieces sell or maybe a little higher. They scream depression era and having a pair is an added bonus. The Hull market is not strong and that includes the early Hull pieces but yours are special and could bring a surprise. Bakersgma and I are in agreement (as usual) that these are very cool pieces.
