Question:
I have a 5 gallon Ice Water Cooler with black lettering except for the red color of the "Red Wing" and no handles. When was this piece made? Is there supposed to be a cover that goes with this piece? Any idea of value? Thanks for any help.

 

Answer: By dating the oval on your Red Wing 5 gallon Ice Water, it was most likely manufactured between 1912 & 1915. Estimated value is $800 without a lid. The correct lid would be a 4 gallon zinc glazed Red Wing button lid. Always have had a soft heart of Ice Waters! Al Kohlman
