Description
A vintage-style utility pail or ash bucket constructed from painted corrugated sheet metal, likely galvanized steel. The item features a tapered cylindrical body with vertical ribbing finished in black paint. A wire bail handle is attached to the sides of the bucket by riveted metal brackets. The matching red lid is stamped with radiating embossed ribs and features a fixed central metal handle. The construction utilizes stamped sheet metal with crimped and soldered seams. This design is characteristic of mid-century utility metalware, commonly used for fireplace ash disposal or as a small-scale trash container. No manufacturer marks or stamps are visible on the exterior; a modern white inventory barcode sticker is present on the lid handle.
