Vintage Shaker Red Wooden Bucket and Sap Bung - Mount Lebanon, New York Shaker Community

This bucket shows evidence of frequent use. The original white paint on the inside has mellowed to a great yellow patina, with stains on the bottom and wear on the sides. The outside is in very nice condition with old red paint. The brown wooden handle grip is blackened on the lower surface from carrying by many hands. Very clean diamond echelons firmly hold the wire handle in place.

One of several selected items from a private Shaker collection from Lenox, MA (about 10 miles from the Hancock, MA Shaker Community) sold at auction in Mt Lebanon, NY in 2002.
