Coal scuttle owned by members of the Ellis family

A coal scuttle made from off-white painted sheet iron alloy shaped with one end designed to pour and the other having a solid handle attached to the body with an additional swinging handle attached at either side of the top through metal loops. The metal alloy has been pressed with a pattern, die cut, and bent into a bucket or scuttle which is attached to a round foot having a similar pattern. There are rounded edges on the base of the foot and on the upper ridge of the bucket. A wire handle is attached to each side by being bent into a loop that passes through a static eyelet that is riveted to the side of the bucket. There is a shell-like handle attached on the back to aid in pouring. There is a large hole in the bottom with a circular particle board or fiber board insert that sits inside to cover the bottom and the hole. This board has holes drilled in a cross pattern with five (5) across in each direction, sharing one common center hole.
