RESTORED & READY TO USE!

ANTIQUE TIN & BRASS COAL SCUTTLE

36 cm high x 30 cm wide x 44 cm deep

Up for auction is this very ornate brass hinged metal coal scuttle.  I bought this in an antique shop in Mount Gambier, South Australia about 25 years ago.  I had it rubbed back and repainted satin black.  It comes with its original coal shovel which fits into a metal “pocket” at the back.

It has a handled container (for the coal) which pulls out of the exterior.

It is in very good condition.  The only thing I could pick is a small chip where the interior coal container slides in.

Things you should know:  The actual pull out coal container has had a repair and has a second bottom put in over the original bottom due to rust (see pictures).  This is how I bought it.  I did not have any restoration done to the coal container as I was using the scuttle to sit next to our fireplace and it only held newspaper.

We’re getting ready to move to a smaller house so I am selling some of my treasures, including a number of my interesting garden pieces, antiques, reproduction pieces, etc. so please watch my site.

COMMUNICATION:  If you have any questions, please email me prior to bidding.  All questions will be promptly answered to the best of my ability.  If you experience any difficulties with an item please contact me immediately and I will endeavour to work out the issues with you.

POSTAGE:  I am happy to send this via courier (too large to be accepted by Aust. Post) but please email me with your post code so that I can give you a quote.  As an example, freight to Melbourne (3000) is $28, Sydney (2000) $31, Perth (6000) $50. 

Alternately it can be picked up from me at Lower Hermitage which is in the foothills just above Tea Tree Gully.
