QR Code Link to This Post
This is an original railroad-marked galvanized steel jug from the Cincinnati, Georgetown & Portsmouth Railway. It stands nearly 20" tall, has its chain-secured lid, and features embossed "C.G.&P. RY" lettering around the body. A solid survivor from the early 1900s with a great industrial look.
I wasn't able to open the lid, but it should open easily with some sort of lube.
