On closer inspection, the container is steal, weighs 118 lbs. found it in cassadaga creek, about 2 miles south of Redbird corners, South Stockton, New York. (chautauqua County) on the neck of the can is the #262 written is some sort of red paint. this was an area with numerous dairy farms at the turn of the last century.

while kayaking I came across an old cast iron milk container in the creek, very aged in some spots, no rust at all on other parts of the container. issue: it's filled with liquid (milk?), and the seal appears to be original. any ideas?
