P.R. Fell Crockery Advertising

Question:
I have a crock with a stamp from P.R. Fell Crockery and glassware and address 84 commons st. N.O. It is stamped 1 & 1/2 Gal.? I have also found an old ad from a New Orleans newspaper, advertising the Fell Co. My questions are: Did the Fell Co. make this crock to sell at their store in New Orleans, or is it an ad that was placed on a red-wing pot for Fell Co? Also, is the 1 and 1/2 gal rare? If possible, please identify the blue flowers on front? Age? Origination? Any info would be greatly appreciated. (will attach photos) Patty

8 gallon Red Wing Water Cooler, inside mark

Question:
I recently purchased an eight gallon red wing water cooler. I have seen some of these coolers with the 8 on the front above the water cooler emblem. Mine has the 8 on the inside bottom of the cooler. What is the difference? I would also like to know where I can find a spout for mine. I also noticed that mine does not have handles and some do. My cooler does not have a place where handles used to be. How old do you think this cooler is? It’s not in the best of shape but I think I got a good deal. Thanks Sherry
