Question:

Hello, I have a mini Red Wing advertising canteen which I have pictured. What is its age and value? Thank you, Courtney

Answer:

Courtney, your mini canteen sure looks like Red Wing from your photos.  These canteens were most likely produced between 1900 & 1906 or so.  In perfect condition, the value is in the area of $1200 to $1700 give or take a couple of hundred.  Al Kohlman

Question: Greetings,

I have a 3 gallon cooler complete with lid and blubber.  Very similar to what Kristi inquired about in September.  Can you give me an estimate of value?  It is in very good condition.  Is the blubber chrome plated brass?  It is not magnetic.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  I can send pics if you need them.

All the best,

Reed

Answer:

Reed, the 3 gallon Red Wing water cooler with lid and bubbler has a value in the area of $600.  The bubber is nickel coated brass. This is why it is not magnitic.  I don’t see any wear on the bubbler and all looks to be in great shape.   Al Kohlman
