~~Best Early Firkin In Original Attic Surface - New England~~


I am offering for your consideration an antique firkin in its original surface. It was never painted, but the surface has aged to a nice rich color!

It has a nice thick bentwood handle which is marked / signed (?) "18XX" in black paint. The lid has a nice thick single fingered band and fits perfectly.

It was constructed with four fingers held with copper nails and is in a superb state of preservation. There are random early staples which I assume are original as well.

It is 9 inches tall, 10 inches across the base and 9 1/2 inches across the lid. No repairs & no restoration.

Good solid condition.

Circa: late 19th c. New England origin. All original!
