Antique Brown Painted Wood Firkin with Cover. This wonderful firkin shows signs of use and experience but is in good shape. It measures 15 1/4" diameter at the bottom and 14 1/4" diameter at the top x 14” tall. The wooden bucket is made from poplar with shaped staves and a two piece bottom and top. It is held together with four ash hoops with tapered fingers. Unfortunately the handle is missing though the round wooden pegs remain. The firkin is painted brown on the outside ...and inside and left natural on the bottom. The bottom is stamped “60 LBS. NET PURE LARD”. There is a chip in the top rim and a chip in the bottom rim. Please look carefully at photos.
