Mark Seabrook Antiques has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
...what is surprising is that it still retains the original leather strap and fixings....these very collectable buckets were filled with sand.....each bucket was sealed with pitch, waxes and oils and often marked so that it could be checked who helped with the fire and to whom they belonged.....
