<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4431791, member: 84&quot;]I got a reply from them - here it is:</p><p><br /></p><p>Hello Charlie,</p><p>I looked at the photos you posted on that online antique forum. I haven&#039;t seen anything like it in a military context. It&#039;s not quite like an sponge buckets or grease pots I&#039;ve seen related to artillery. It&#039;s also different than any powder storage containers I&#039;ve seen. Copper bands are the hallmark of those. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this heavy duty bucket is for some kind of food press, though whether wine, cider, or etc. I do not know. Thank you for sharing this object with us and good luck in chasing down exactly what it is!</p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Stuart Lilie</p><p><br /></p><p>Vice President of Public History[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
