Question:
A friend of mine gave me a 6 gallon red wing water cooler in mint condition. The cooler has the words "water cooler" written on the outside along with two stripes painted around the top lip and two stripes also around the bottom written in blue. The words are still visible but slightly fading. The red wing is 4 inches large. With this description can you tell me how much this cooler is worth and about how old it is? There was no lid or spigot when I received it. I know this cooler was used back in the late 40′s and 50′s. Paula

Question:
Hi, I have a 50 gallon red wing crock with the lid.

We’ll start with the lid. It had (2) inch and a half long and inch deep chips in the rim that have beed puttied up. There are also 2 crows feet in the glaze on top that don’t go through to the other side. The handle is missing.

Now the crock. It has a ski oval with nice markings. There’s a 5 inch super tight hairline on back starting at the rim. There is also a hairline crack going down the front about 3 inches to the right of the markings. The crack isn’t too wide and has been super glued so it’s stable. The crack goes 3/4 the way down, but you can only see it about 1/3 of the way down because it gets soo tight you need to get right up to it to notice it.

Sorry, no pictures. What is the value. Thanks!!!!! Jordan
