Old RED Firkin Sugar Bucket
Circa late 1800's
Up for sale is this very nice, old, antique, red firkin. The coloring is just beautiful! It is a good size measuring 16" high to the top of the handle, 12" high to the top of the lid, 12 3/8" in diameter across the bottom, by about 12" in diameter across the top. The outside photos best show the coloring of this firkin. It is a beautiful red color perfect for primitive display. This would be especialy nice displayed with a red handled collection! The red is at least the second maybe 3rd coat of old paint. Underneath looks like a creamy yellow. It has 3 lap finger bands on the bucket and one for the lid. They are held in place with nails. The slats are tonge and groove assembly. Really a well made, quality piece. Overall it is in absolutely excellent condition. It's only flaw is the lid is cracked a bit around the rim of the lid. It is still very sturdy and will not be falling apart anytime soon. This will look really nice in someone's firkin stack or sitting atop a cabinet. The display possibilities are endless! This was picked up at a sale in Southern Missouri. We will combine shipping on multiple auctions won when possible. Be sure to add me to your favorites list !
