I have some Russel Wright furniture, dishes and metal barware, always liked his stuff. Some of it i didn't know was Russel Wright 'til long after I bought it. As far as MCM becoming worthless again, don't hold your breath. Craftsmen style became popular again in the 80's and is still going strong, alot of grotesque postmodern "CRAPSmen" homes are being built in this area with a few craftsmen type details on a cheap crappy home. MCM hasn't even hit it's mainstream stride yet and once it does there will be a huge price increase eventually followed by a slowing or near flattening of valuation, but it will never be "worthless" again. Go and buy NOW! I'm still finding Saarinen side chairs for 5 bucks and Russel Wright chairs for 12. I also see Eames and Witco sold for cheap by unknowing thrifts and consigners. You can pay with time spent looking or with cash, I prefer looking since I'm not wealthy....The Eichler like ranch home I've lived in a yr. has gone from 170,000 to 220,000 appraisal in a yr. and the market here is almost completely ignorant of MCM yet.
