Red Wing 5 gallon self draining jar

Question: Hello,  I am interested in learning more about this RW Water Filter and lid that I recently purchased at a small antiques shop in NC.  I have tried to locate similar pieces online with no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks – April

Answer:

April, you have a Red Wing 5 gallon self draining jar.  These were used in Hardware Stores, Chemical plants or Dairies to dispense products.   The self draining jar by itself has a value between $100 & $125.  The lid with the hairline.  $40 or so.   Hope this helps.  Al Kohlman
