Offering this antique wood bucket. Measures 10″ T (29″ including chain) 6″ top diameter x 7.5″ base. This is a well or grease bucket. Has the best attic surface cabin style look. Was a barn find. Has the wood woven band on the bottom and the other is missing. I applied a clear glue on some the staves so doesn’t loosen in dry rooms as seen. (It’s tight) One side on the outside and inside has old grease still on it. Great piece with an old chain attached to it. Expect minor imperfection consistent with age and use.
