Question:
I have an 8 gallon Red Wing Water Cooler in near perfect condition. Original handles, has always been in doors, minute crack on lid but no piece missing. Have a wood spigot that fits but not original metal one if that is what it supposed to have. We have had this since first married and wonder what the value is or how to perhaps sell it. It is 17 inches tall and 14 inches across the lid. We also have a 10 gallon open crock 17 1/2 tall and 14 1/2 across the top. It is in great condition. The ‘kids’ are not as interested so maybe time to thin our collection. They would be a beautiful addition to a collection. Thanks, Maryann

Answer: Maryann, your have a very nice looking 8 gallon Red Wing water cooler. 8 gallon coolers are a harder find than those 3, 4 ,5 & 6 gallon coolers. The spigot should be a metal "central" spigot. With the hairline in the lid and cooler being perfect the value will be in the $800 range. The 10 gallon Red Wing crock in perfect condition would have a value around $150. Good luck with your sales.
