Condition
In good order and read to place. The coopered sides of the bucket show signs of historic separation. This has been consolidated and there is filler to these sites, and a slither of wood is set into one of these separations. There are typical chips, scratches and old marks throughout, most of which are consistent with age, use and wear. The brass-work is good.
