2 1/2 Gal. Bucket by Ansonia Brass Co . Patented Dec. 15, 1865 & Feb. 13, 1866

Description: For your consideration is a brass bucket or pail that was designed & Patented by H.W. Hayden and manufactured by the Ansonia Brass Company. The Ansonia Brass Company was the dream of Anson Greene Phelps and was a sprawling complex located in a series of buildings on the banks of the Naugatuck River in Connecticut.H.W. Hayden received a Patent on this bucket or pail on Dec. 16, 1851. The Patent was extended on Dec. 15, 1865 and was reissued on Feb. 13, 1866.The main part of this bucket is brass and the bail is steel. I assume the rim is a steel band wrapped in brass that is a continuation of the brass sides. From the surface it is setting on, to the top of the rim is approximately 7 1/2". The diameter of the rim is approximately 11 3/4" and the diameter of the bottom is approximately 8".This bucket or pail is an old item that was used. Except for the bottom, this bucket or pail is in excellent as found condition. The bottom is very beat up and warped. That being said: This bucket or pail, does not leak. Some of the bottom's impressed writing is worn away and cannot be read (I knew what it should say and that is how I worded the title and wrote the description). Please, carefully examine the pictures, as the pictures are part of the description.Whenever it is practical, I will combine shipping. Local pickup is encouraged and is free.For bookkeeping purposes, this is lot 1437. International buyers will be responsible for custom fees and other fees associated with shipping items.
