AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Atmospheric antique milk can made of copper-plated steel, dating from the first quarter of the 20th century. The can has a cylindrical shape with a widened base for extra stability, a lockable lid with a hinged clamp and a movable brass carrying handle. The copper plating gives the can a warm, golden glow that has developed a beautiful patina over the years.

This type of milk can was at the time used for transporting fresh milk from the farm to the buyer or dairy factory. The sturdy construction and the lockable lid ensured that the contents could be transported securely.

The can is in good vintage condition, with signs of use and patina appropriate to its age, such as light dents and discoloration of the copper plating. A atmospheric and decorative object that looks wonderful in a country-style or nostalgic kitchen or living room.
