Question:
We have an old cookie jar that has been in my husband’s family for at least 60 years. They always called "him" Mr. Cookie. Could be a family nick name or something from the manufacturer. The bottom is stamped with Red Wing USA and has a printed script of Red Wing USA with additional undistinguishable writing.
Hip to hip(his widest area) is 8.5". the base is 6.5" high, with the top on he is 11.25" high at the top of his baker’s hat.He is in perfect condition…no chips, no fading, no discoloration. His caramel colored glaze is smooth, no crazing. The accent touches on his face, hat, watchchain, feet are darker brown. The interior is also in perfect shape…and smells faintly of the chocolate chip cookies he was known to store. Any information you can provide about Mr Cookie would be appreciated. I also understand that this is Christmas week and I don’t expect a quick reply. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Stag deer lobby jar with cooler features
Question:
I have a 10 gallon Red wing water cooler in mint condition (no cracks or damages of any kind). It is approximately 100 years old. Has the original wooden top on it and most likely the original dispenser. It is a "salt-glazed" cooler with yellowish/tan color and a stag deer with a doe near it formed into the pottery. Also has trees formed in too. I know it’s very rare, but I don’t know the value of it. I’ve tried to research it, but can’t find one similar. Can you help? Have you seen one like this and what’s the approx. value? Thank you. Peggy
Answer: Hi Peggy
red wing did do the "deer" sandjar, it was done in the early 30′s. I’m pretty sure the water cooler version of it was done by robinson Rainsbottom, out of Ohio. I think it had a stoneware lid, not wood. These usually sell for around 300.00 or so. thanks steve n rose
