Answer: Rod, there are two places you can watch to find a 3 gallon Red Wing water cooler lid for your cooler. 1) the classifies on this web site & 2) eBay. A mint 3 gallon Red Wing water cooler just sold on eBay last week for under $225 (you would need to figure shipping & insurance on this so I would figure. In a good ecomony, they would cost $350. Now is the time to buy one. Your cooler is very nicely decorated and stamped! Al Kohlman
