I've been asking around, but nobody seems to really know.
Some guesses have been a slop type bucket, a carrier for coal ash, and some type of urn. But researching any of those suggestions hasn't come up with anything that looks like this. I took it to a couple antique shops, but they didn't know, all they could say is that it is old.
There's not any kind of markings anywhere on it. It about 15.5 inches tall. The bottom section is weighted with possibly sand inside. On opposite sides of the base, it is bent inwards, almost as if it would have slid into something to secure it.
Anybody have an idea on what it is? I haven't tried to clean it. Not sure whether to leave it be or try to shine it up.
