15 gallon Western Self Drainer

Question:
I have a 15 gallon Western Stoneware Co crock but I’m not real sure it is. I am thinking perhaps a water cooler that stood in a stand. It is cone shaped on the one end. The height is 20 1/2" down the straight side. The cone extends an additonal 4". The opening at the bottom has a 1"ID. The opening at the top is 16"OD and 14"ID If anyone could help me find out the correct description and possible value I would apprecite it. Thanks, Bonnie Schilling I have more pictures

 

Answer:

This would be a self draining jar. It would have sat on a stand & from the markins dates from the 20′s. The value of these self drainers can vary & if it has a stand it helps the value since they are hard to display. In today’s market I would think it would be $125-$200.
