1870 E Miller Brass Kettle Pail Bucket Pot Iron Handle
 
Please look at the photos. This is a true rare find. Ordinarily, these pails are in pretty bad shape because of years of use. This has to be one of the nicest examples we have ever seen.
 
We DID not touch the patina. This is almost museum quality, and we wanted to do nothing to affect its value. The bottom of the pail shows charring from use over a fire. The sides have a beautiful coloring.
 
The pail is almost perfectly round. To the naked eye, we could not see if it was twisted out of shape at all. We suspect because it is so heavy (4 pounds).
