Answer: Patti, you either have a 5 gallon shoulder jug $65 to $75 or a 5 gallon Beehive jug $350. To tell the different, look at the shoulder of the jug. If there is about a 1/2 inch shoulder or edge just below the back of the handle that goes around the jug, then it is the shoulder jug. No flat edge or shoulder below the handle and it is a beehive jug. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
