Antique Falls City "The Jones" Minnow Bucket Pail Aquarium Large 12 Qt ~Rare !

Description

Up for auction is this estate found Rare Antique The Jones Minnow Bucket Pail / aquarium . This minnow bucket along with the duck decoys I will be listing all came from the same Ct estate .This Pail has a decal of a  largemouth bass going after a lure  on the front and says says Falls City  " Jones "  but has some damage and a little tough to make out. It is all original and has old green and gold paint and was made by Deshler mailbox company Ohio and is the Larger 12 Quart Version but also came in a 8 qt ~ and made  sometime between 1920 and 1930 and seems to be  complete and has no holes and has a air valve and tank on top to aerate the pail for 4 -6 hours . I have never seen a bucket like this and really want to use it just once and I can't find one with the Falls City decal most have just " The jones minnow pail" . It is a oblong shape and it's 16" x 6" wide  x 10" tall !! It has very little surface rust and really checked it over and dont see any holes on any of the pieces but  i havent tested it or cleaned it. Amazed they made minnow buckets like this so early and sure not many survived .I also realized it fits perfectly on top once you pull minnow cage from the tub and also think has a ding on the top right of the inside cage  Please check out all the photos and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
