A good example of a large copper milk pail dating from the late 19th century. It has a tall cylindrical body with a long spout and brass handle on the back to aid pouring. It has a large swing handle and it comes with its original lid. It is a good quality piece with nice riveted detail and it has an internal measuring scale to 10 quarts.
It is in good original condition. There are signs of age and use, some small dents, dinks and surface marks but nothing untoward. It has been cleaned and lightly polished to retain its aged patina and is ready for use.
