Question:
Hi I thought this # 5 water cooler was by Red Wing. Can you please give me any information on it. Its in great condition. I got it at a yard sale some years back. I have attached a picture. I thank you for your help and your website. Brian in Florida

 

Answer: Your 5 gallon Birch Leaf Ice Water was manufactured by the Minnesota Stoneware Company in Red Wing Minnesota sometime between 1895 & 1906. In mint condition it has a value between $700 & $800. Al Kohlman
