This is an early, vintage metal galvanized minnow bucket in good vintage condition. The wooden handle is in good shape as well as the inside of the bucket. There are no holes inside the bucket either & it holds water perfectly!! The minnow bucket is stamped patent pending & also something else (see photos), but i was unable to make it out unfortunately. This is an early galvanized metsl bait bucket & in overall good vintage condition. The minnow bucket does display some aged/usage wear (see photos), but overall good shape & still fully functioning!!
