primitive old farm milk bucket, vintage dairy pail milking machine kettle

Nice old tinned steel milk bucket for an early milking machine... this holds 3 to 4 gallons, and measures 16 1/2" deep. (It's 7 1/2" diameter across the bucket rim.)

There's just the remains of an old G I label, and the bucket has light rust inside and out. You could probably clean it right up to food grade for kitchen use, though we think it looks lovely just as it is.
