Question:
I HAVE A 5 GALLON RED WING WATER COOLER WITH A METAL LID THAT HAS A WOODEN HANDLE ON TOP AND A METAL WATER DISPENCER AT THE BOTTOM. THE NUMBER 5,A LARGE RED WING, AND THE RED WING UNION STONEWARE EMBLEM. COULD YOU TELL ME HOW OLD IT IS AND WHAT IT IS WORTH? I BOUGHT IT AT AN ESTATE SALE FOR 45 DOLLARS. THANK YOU KATHY DE FORD

Answer: Kathy, your 5 gallon Red Wing Water cooler had a stoneware lid and not a metal one, Therefore the medal lid is an after market lid and has little to no value. The 5 Red Wing water cooler with the standard Central spigot in mint condition has a value between $350 & $400. Al Kohlman
