Large Vintage Primitive Tin Strainer

Price: 125 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a large vintage, possibly antique, primitive tin strainer that I acquired in Iowa. The holes on the side have been completed in a rather decorative design of upside down triangles, almost resembling hearts, but not quite, with 2 horizontal lines of holes below. The bottom is fairly uniformly completed and rounded so the piece doesn't completely sit flat, and there is a sort of hook on one side for attaching it to a bowl/pot, as well as a long handle with a half circle for holding. The piece measures about 9" in diameter on top, 5 5 /8" tall, and 7 1/2" in diameter on the bottom. It is in nice vintage/antique condition, with a dark patina and a tiny bit of rust, but no major dents or other issues. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
