Answer:

Hi, William – Your jug is definitely RW and tends to bring around $250-$300 down here in the states.  Sometimes I’ve seen them priced for more when dealers/collectors put them out for sale, but I rarely see them sell for any more than that.  They might bring more up in your area…you’d know better that I on that.

Here’s a pic of my King’s Old Country cooler and jug.  These are both 5 gallon pieces, however.  I don’t know what the 2 gallon jug was designed to sit on top of, as I’ve only seen coolers in the 5 gallon size.  They’re pretty rare.

Best,

Rick
