3 gallon, small wing water cooler

Question:
My grandmother recently passed away and she had a Red Wing Watercooler and we are wondering if it has any value at all since it is broken. Nearly all of the bottom is missing. I dont believe it has a lid either. I am attaching a picture of what it looks like, but its not the actual piece. I can send a picture in a few days….but I was just hoping to get some sort of idea. I am thinking it has no value since it is so damaged??? Thank You so much!

20 gallon, medium wing, stress cracks, and chain around

Question:
I have a 20 gallon Red Wing crock that was left in my garage when I moved into the house. It was 3 large stress cracks in it with a 2 1/2 inch chip on the rim. In the picture you’ll see that the previous owner placed some type of a chain around it. I’m hoping this isn’t holding it together – I don’t think it is but I’m not sure. Is this piece worth anything with this type of damage? Thank you.
