$46.99

Rare galvanized oyster shipping or store container.
Reads, \"PROPERTY OF O.E. WENTWORTH CERTIFICATE NO. MD 45 BALTIMORE MD\"
The lid, although showing the same wear, aging, and patina as the can, is a rather loose fit, so I\'m not sure if it is original to the can, but it\'s what I found it with.
I have no idea what happened to create that worn spot. Maybe someone tried to clean it, or cleaned their paint brush on it, or what.
Measures 13.5\" tall x 11\" bottom diameter, the lid has a 12.5\" diameter.
