Question:
I have this mint condition Red Wing 5 gallon birch leaf beehive jug. Would like to know what year it was made and what is the value. Like I said, it is in mint condition, not cracks or chips anywhere. This picture does not do it justice. Thank you very much for your time and have a nice day. Brian

Answer: Brian, your 5 gallon birch leaf beehive was manufactured between 1895 & 1909. These birch leaf beehives without an oval have a lower value than those with an oval. Also the leaves on your beehive are not fully printed which also affects the price. Value between $250 & $275 in today’s ecomony. Al Kohlman
