Question:
Can you please tell me what I have and a value? Also why is my piece stamped on the bottom Minnesota Staneware Co. Red Wing and all other pieces I have found are not? Jon

Answer: Jon, HOLLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! Now that is a nice piece. I hope Stacy can get the front of your piece on this page as well. You have an extremely nice and rare piece here. It is a Minnesota Stoneware 2 gallon salt glazed target straight sided water cooler that is bottom stamped. It was made sometime between 1883 & 1895. If your cooler is in perfect condition the value would be $10,000 to $12,000. Absolutely gorgeous. Al Kohlman
