VAN HOUTEN COCOA Barrel Wooden SHIPPING CRATE Antique Primitive Box NEW YORK NY

Description

Old General Store's VAN HOUTEN COCOA barrel or round shipping crate. New York, NY  No lid.  Metal banding on side.  Graphics on front and back.   ( Inside, those hash marks are NOT staples.  They are probably from the milling of the wood. You can't feel them.)   The logo of the guy with a tray holding a cocoa pot is on both front and back, too.   Great looking old box.
SIZE: TOTAL: Approx  18+" high and 11 1/2" diam.        All measurements  to the best of my ability to measure.
CONDITION:  Box is in good, old condition, with expected age & use wear.  Minor bumps, bruises, dings, nicks, chips, FADEs and wear.    This is OLD, and USED, not new!  GRAPHICS are nice and legible, though, IN MY OPINION.  There are some blotches of grey paint, so please note that.  There is some wear, so view all pictures.   I do NOT touch up my photos, and do not enhance colors.  BOX is Strong & Secure.   VIEW CLOSEUP PHOTOS.  solid and sturdy.   I took lots of pictures, so please view all to determine condition.   This old Van Houten crate is a fabulous piece of Americana.   If you like genuine antique pieces  this box will look superb in your home or business.     Please look at all the pictures.
