Classic Galvanized Canners National Standard Bucket Storage Barrel Set of 2

Classic Galvanized Canners National Standard Bucket Storage Barrel Set of Two 2 Outstanding primitive antique reproductions base on the "copper boiler" canning buckets which were household staples in the 1800s. Every house needed a copper or galvanized boiler to can fruits, vegetables, and meat for the long winters in the rural United States, where refrigeration was not available. Today, genuine antique copper or galvanized boilers are expensive and very hard to find, because so many people have discovered so many storage and display uses for them. These buckets are charming interpretations of rustic galvanized boilers. The boilers are coated with a flat "weathered copper" lacquer finish, with parts of the galvanized finish showing through to give an authentic "old" look to them. These are outstanding nostalgic reproductions from the 1800s. You will love these for years, and pass them to your children as family heirlooms.
