Price: $375.00 free shipping
Sold by Forget-Me-Not Antiques
Early firkins having original paint just don't show up very often today. This firkin, having original salmon milk paint on the staves and black painted bands is just outstanding. There are small button pegs on handle with hand carved wooden pegs on the inside to hold them in place. The firkin has a 10 3/4” top diameter and a 11 1/2” bottom diameter and is 11” tall with the handle down. Ca. 1840-1880. No issues, just normal wear from use. It is very clean inside with no off odors.
