15 gallon red wing cooler

Question:
Hello, My family runs a large soft drink company in New England called Polar Beverages. We have been around since 1882 and started with Mineral water and some Spirts. I’m a bit of a pack-rat so occasionaly people try to move something along. A large Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. Red Wing Minn. The number 15 in blue is at the top, next is a large red wing, and at the bottom red wing union. Below that is a plated ball valve like for hose on the side of a house. At the top 90% from the valve on the bottom is a make up valve. It’s not much different than a toilet water make up float. It is a traditional stonewear color, a light grey. the top cover has a wodden and metal handle in the center. Around the center of the cap has decorations like a flower. Thank you in advance for any information. Chris Crowley
