PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION.VINTAGE ATLAS \" ATCO CORPERATION \" HEAVY STEEL TRASH CAN WITH GALVANIZED STEEL REMOVABLE LINER INSERT MADE IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS.
THE APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENT ARE 24.5\" TALL, 11\" ON SIDES OR 12\" INCHES IF MEASURING THE LID FROM THE SIDES. THE PIECE IS SQUARE SO THE MEASUREMENTS APPLY TO ALL SIDES. IT WEIGHS 17.60 LBS. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS PIECE IS FROM THE 1940\'S AND WAS COMMONLY USED ANYWHERE FROM A MECHANICS SHOP TO A DOCTORS OFFICE. PLEASE CONDUCT YOUR OWN RESEARCH AS I AM STATING ONLY WHAT I HAVE FOUND.
THE PIECE HAS SOME SURFACE RUST BUT NO RUST HOLES. IF THE BUYER IS NOT GOING TO RESTORE IT THE TRASH CAN SHOULD BE HEAVILY CLEANED AFTER ALL IT IS A TRASH CAN!
THE LID HINGES ON ONE SIDE TO ACCESS THE GALVINIZED LINER AND TRASH. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LID THERE ARE SPRING LOADED \"PUSH\" DOORS TO PUT THE TRASH IN THROUGH. THE SPRINGS STILL WORK GREAT.
THE HEAVY WHITE PAINT,
(MAYBE PORCELAIN OR ENAMEL ????)
SEEMS TO BE ORIGINAL AND WOULD DISPLAY NICELY WITH VINTAGE PATINA IF A LITTLE MORE ELBOW GREASE IS USED. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS IT WAS MY FULL INTENT TO SAND BLAST ANF POWDER COST BUT I AM MOVING ON TO A DIFFERENT PROJECT.
I DID NOT WANT TO ALTER THIS PIECE AS IT APPEARS ORIGINAL AND HAS SURVIVED ALL THESE YEARS . GREAT PIECE! THANKS FOR LOOKING. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE OTHER GREAT ITEMS FOR SALE IN MY store.
