Large Antique Primitive Wood Vegetable Shipping Barrel

Primitive Vintage Wood Vegetable Barrel

Found in central PA, this is a nice primitive wood barrel that looks like it was used to ship Brussel sprouts or Artichokes from California.  Made of lightweight wood with three wood rings and a solid wood bottom, the barrel original painted label on the side.  Says "Coast King Sprouts, Santa Cruz Artichoke Sprout Growers, Santa Cruz Produce, 25 lbs. NET, California of U.S.A. 

In good vintage primitive condition, bottom has hole in center that I assume was intentional.  It is fairly sturdy, though I don't think it would hold heavy items.  Still would be great to hold decoratives, pine cones, gourds, dolls, christmas decorations, dried flowers. 

Measures 16" tall, 14" across.  Great vintage country decor collectible. 

Thanks for looking, please email with any questions. 

The items that I sell are primitives/antiques/vintage items that I find and would buy for myself. I try to describe each item as well as I can but I am not an expert. I sell on ebay for fun and enjoy the people I meet here. I do not leave negative feedback and hope that if you are not happy with an item that we can work out any problems. It's not life and death - that's what I do in my 9-5 job. This should be fun.
