Answer: Sounds like you have a Red Wing 5 Gallon Shoulder jug. These jugs were made anywhere from 1917 to 1947. They were used for caring water to the fields, making wine or storing liquids of all sorts. Price range depends on who large the wing and no damage such as chips or cracks. $75 to $125. Al Kohlman
