Red Wing 5 gallon beehive with just the oval

Question:

Hi:

We have this PERFECT beehive and were wondering what it is worth. The lettering is black and the inside is salt glazed.

Thank you,

Carol & Mike

Answer:

Your Red  Wing 5 gallon beehive with just the oval and number 5 is a tough find.  However, it will take a collector looking for the little out of the ordinary that would give you the highest price.  If one were putting a set together and needed this one jug, it could fetch $600 or a little more if in perfect condition.  Al Kohlman
