Presented in this lot is a vintage Coal Scuttle, circa early to mid 1900s. A coal scuttle, sometimes spelled coalscuttle and also called a hod, coal bucket, or coal pail, is a bucket-like container for holding a small, intermediate supply of coal convenient to an indoor coal-fired stove or heater. It can also hold fireplace kindling and small logs. In the earliest days of the nation, brick or stone fireplaces fueled with wood were the primary source of heat. It wasn’t until about 1885 that the country started to burn more coal than wood. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the inexpensive cast iron radiator combined with the steel-riveted coal furnace would bring a version of central heat to American homes. These two sources of warmth would be the primary methods of home heating until the mid-1930s when the first forced air furnace that used coal was introduced. Prior to the days of electricity being common in all homes, the combination of the steel-riveted coal furnace and the forced air furnace depended on natural convection to move the heat through the ducts from the basement unit.
This double wood handled steel riveted hod is in good overall condition. Rich patina throughout, oxidation noted. The scoop mouth has edge splitting and been reformed. Measures 10.5"W x 12"H x 29.5"L
