14 in tall. A primitive wooden utility bucket of stave-built construction, commonly utilized as a well pail or grain measure. The item is composed of tapered vertical wooden staves, featuring two extended ear staves that house the attachment points for the handle. The handle is a heavy-gauge iron bail with a central loop or crimp designed for steadying or hanging. The bucket is reinforced with three iron bands: two upper wire-gauge hoops and a broad, flat iron chime hoop at the base. The wood displays a dark, weathered finish with significant water staining and grain texture. No maker's marks, manufacturer stamps, or incised characters are present on the surfaces. This piece is characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century primitive utility wares found in North America and Europe. Estimated Diameter: 10?12 inches.
