Please note the handle is original, the brass handle and strapped bands with typical old scratches and some tarnished spots and marks and with old tarnish and streaking to the crevices and edges, and with a couple of small dents in places, the bands have slightly moved, probably because of wood shrinkage, but this is not a serious issue although some minor filling would be of benefit, the timber with some old historic scratches, hairline cracks, scuffs and knocks and with old polish to the horizontal ribbing and some streaked black marks in places, the timber appears to have been re-waxed and polished (but maybe not recently) the inside lacking the original liner and with old dirt and remnants of streaking from old polish and some old scuffs, cracks and blemishes, there is evidence of whitish bloom from some minor water damage where the peat bucket has been used to hold a plant, this does not appear to be too serious although there a few more open cracks in places, sold with old tin bucket, which is associated and of more modern manufacture.
