A rare find! This firkin bucket dates back to the mid 1800s and has stunning old paint and charming wear from use. The bottom edge of the handle has slightly rounded and has worn paint from being handled frequently, additional nails secure pieces of wood that have come undone over time and the lid edge is partially lost.
A really beautiful piece and a great example of early buckets from that time coming out of Hingham, Massachusetts. Signed on the bottom and it appears to read "C H Dr??". I've attached a black and white image to view the mystery signature a bit better.
Acquired from a dealer in Massachusetts
Height: 9 inches (approximately 13.5" with the handle extended)
Lid: 9 inches
Bottom: 9.75 inches
