Question:
I was given a Redwing jug that is white with an ornate 5 stamped on it. it is stamped " Redwing Union Stoneware Co. Redwing Minn. It has a red wing stmped on it in red. It is in excellent condition. Im curious about its value, although I have no intention of selling it. Thanks for your expertise!

Answer: I am not sure of the size of the Red Wing on your water cooler. The larger the wing, the greater the value. Also, you did not mention a lid. So I will do my best and break it down for you. A mint 5 gallon water cooler lid has a value of $350 by itself. A Red Wing water cooler without a lid and a 2 7/8 inch wing would be between $200 & 250. A 4 1/2 inch wing and the value is around $300. If it has an original spigot in good condition, the spigot by itself is worth $50. Hopefully, this information is helpful when you measure the wing and take the lid & spigot into consideration. Al Kohlman
