<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 4435867, member: 10012&quot;]This bucket has really been bugging me. Is it possible that it was used on shipboard as a sand bucket. A semi-permanent fixture that would be used to supply sand to keep the deck about a gun placement rough in battle to prevent the gun crew from slipping? If so, would it not have a scoop or ladle to spread the sand? This would explain the wear at the rim. It would also explain the paint application? Just thinking......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
