Question:

Please see picture attached of this Union Stoneware Co. 5 Gallon double handled threshers jug.  Could you please share any information you may have regarding the age, scarcity, and approximate value?  I appreciate your knowledge and time.  Thanking you in advance. Cathy

Answer: Cathy, your Red Wing 5 gallon double handle beehive with just the  Union Oval was produced between 1912 to 1917 or so.  With the chip in the lid and the jug in somewhat well used condition, I would think the value would be in the $800 to $1000 range.   Al Kohlman
