Bucket/Pail

rickystl · 13th August 2017, 03:52 PM

I bought this small pail for almost free. LOL It has a copper plating on the outside (with losses), so I don't think it's very old. Maybe mid-20th Century (?). It's not galvanized, but does look like it has a tinned interior. It looks all handmade. The flat handle is heavy and the langets are solid brass. There is a small amount of dirt in the crevises of the langets. So I think someone used it as a plant hanger at some point. possibly what it was designed for (?).
Anyway, does anyone reconize the engraving on the side of the pail ? Possibly Indian ? Thanks for any help. I actually bought this for a specific purpose. LOL
