I love the great retro graphics on this 1960s vintage minnow bucket! It's styrofoam lined metal, Frabilite - from Frabill, Milwaukee Wisconsin. This still has the original .49 cents price tag from Holiday on the front.

Cute as it is, it'll need a ton of cleaning to re-purpose this to anything except fishing, or rustic camp or man-cave decor. It's been used.

It measures about 12 1/2" tall overall, 10" in diameter at the top. There's some light rust and finish wear to the metal, but it's really more of a problem of how to clean the vintage styrofoam, it's brown with dust and dirt.
