Question:
A friend of mine gave me a 6 gallon red wing water cooler in mint condition. The cooler has the words "water cooler" written on the outside along with two stripes painted around the top lip and two stripes also around the bottom written in blue. The words are still visible but slightly fading. The red wing is 4 inches large. With this description can you tell me how much this cooler is worth and about how old it is? There was no lid or spigot when I received it. I know this cooler was used back in the late 40′s and 50′s. Paula

Answer: Paula, a 6 gallon Red Wing water cooler in perfect condition without a lid or spigot and with faded markings would have a value between $250 & $300. Al Kohlman
