copper umbrella stand
« on: December 13, 2009, 08:21:28 pm »
I was told that this might be an umbrella stand. I'm not sure. It stands 21 inches and is about 10 inches wide. I cannot find any identifying marks on it. It looks like copper. I did some Internet searching and found virtually nothing.
So, here are my questions.
Question 1: What is it?
Question 2: How old is it?
Question 3: Where did it come from? (eg, country, type of household)
Question 4: Should I clean it or leave it in its natural state?
Question 5: What is the estimated value?

I would appreciate your assistance.
Thank you.

I could be wrong but it appears to be an English coal skuttle.

Thank you VERY much! I used "scuttle" as a search term and found one just like it that was sold on the European version of eBay. That one was dated to 1910.
