Description
cape cod find!THIS AUTHENTIC MID-19th CENTURY LEATHER FIRE BUCKET HAS ALL ITS PARTS,
INCLUDING METAL STUDS/RIVETS ORIGINAL IRON ATTACHMENT RINGS, LEATHER HANDLE AND
LINING.
THE IRON BAND AT THE TOP IS IN TACT.
Condition reflects a lot of use in extinguishing fire.
The surface shows signs of layers of repainting,
and the upper interior lining MOST rivets have
separated from the lining
where the lining itself has significant upper losses.
(see pics).
Size: Height of bucket (not including extra 9-inch strap handle) 10 inches
9 3/4 inches across top
Remarks: This fire bucket does not pretend to be one of the fine examples with artistic decals.
Those, of course, sell for well into the thousands. But a "relic" such as this from an American
site with a complete handle is fairly scarce. And this one has its charm.
PLEASE: No returns for "buyer's remorse." Only if I misled you with the decription. So please read it.
