Question:
I recently purchased an old Red Wing #3 crock at a consignment shop for $90. The condition is good/very good with no cracks in or outside, but some minor chipping around the mouth of the crock. It’s decorations have good color, a 4" red wing and an oval that according to your webside dates it to 1917-1918.

6 gallon red wing water cooler

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.
