Question:
I have a water cooler on top has two blue rings that goes around the cooler with 6 between the rings under the rings water cooler is spelled out below is picture of a red wing at the bottom is an oblong circle in side the circle red wing unmn Brune ware co Red nine Minn. The cooler has no chips glaze and markings looks great, missing led and handles. I would appreciate any information you could give Me. I was looking on e bay for the led they have 9 gallon led is that the same as a 6 gallon cooler led. Thanks Danny
Answer: Danny you have a 6 gallon Red Wing Water Cooler. Your oval at the bottom of the crock must be a little smeary. It should read "Red Wing Union Stoneware Co Red Wing Minn" The correct lid would be a 6 gallon Red Wing water cooler lid (Red Wing never made a 9 gallon lid, so my best guess is that the lid was placed in such a fashion that the 6 was upside down which made it look like a 9) which will have the daisy petals, 3 blue lines and a bar handle. These lids run about $350. The correct spigot would be a "Central" outside push button spigot. Spigots run around $50. Your mint cooler if it has a 4" wing is around $400. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
