Metal flour bin?

[JTHOBS34]

I picked this up at an auction last nite , it was covered in horrible wallpaper, I removed it with alcohol and a scraper, only markings are on the top "Schleueter St.Louis Deluxe" any info would be great ! Thanks.

What are the dimensions?

Could be a bread box or a vegetable bin.  Or a canister for flour like you suggested.

Now, it could have also been used in a medical office for medical supplies....

I would stick potatoes or onions in it if big enough !!

Nice little tin item , JTHOBS34 .

Looks like there's a spot on top for a board (or a pad for a 'changing table' for the babies) .

Would be nice if you could steam off the rest of the adhesive (without using a scraper again) , scrubbed off with a nylon brush , but I sure don't know what adhesive the wallpaper was stuck on there in the first place .

I'm sure it looks better now than when you got it !

I'm wondering if the bin door knob is wooden , or seems synthetic ... and is it bolted or riveted on ?

Try Nail Polish Remover or plain old rubbing alcohol for the glue,, Cooking oil will work too depending on the type glue !! I would have sprayed it with water first to see if it was wheat paste !! Water removes Elmers, and wallpaper paste !!

Yer too late closing the barn doors,All the horses have bolted...
anyone wi half a brain knows that....Steam is what takes off wallpaper,...
