Question

Hi,

Just found this jug in my mother’s attic.  It appears to be a Redwing but I’m not certain as I can’t seem to find an image of one exactly like it online.

Can you help me determine its authenticity and potential value?

Thanks so very much,

Edward

Answer

Edward, you do indeed have a Red Wing 4 gallon shoulder jug.  This is an early shoulder jug most likely produced right around 1909 or so.  Value in perfect condition is between $125 & $150.  Al Kohlman
