This is an original antique (early 20th century) Red Wing Union Stoneware water cooler with bubbler or fountain attachment on an iron stand. The water cooler is in excellent condition with absolutely no cracks or chips anywhere, just a discolored film on the inside near the bottom from a liquid that sat in the cooler too long (I don’t know if this can be removed). The spout is securely attached, and the fountain attachment screws securely onto the end of the spout. The water cooler was tested and does not leak, and the spout works as it should. It drains out the bottom, so a bucket or drain is needed to catch the drain water. The stand was not found with the water cooler but resembles a water cooler stand in size, style, and height and works perfectly with it. The round piece of wood on top of the stand is new and bolted securely to the mounting holes on top of the stand. The iron frame has some pitting and surface rust and has acquired a naturally aged patina overall. Nothing is broken, loose, repaired, or missing and the entire piece is sturdy, solid, and fully functional. The water cooler measures 13″ in diameter x 14 1/2″ H and the stand measures 17″ square at the feet x 29 1/2″ H.
