The centerpiece is a heavy-duty galvanized steel corrugated coal scuttle hod, complete with its original wire bail handle and a beautiful shell-molded rear tip handle.

This group provides a fantastic instant primitive layout for historic hearthside styling, wood stove detailing, or rustic cabin porch displays.

Condition Report
Coal Hod: Good rustic condition. The body is structurally solid with tightly fixed handles. Displays a lovely aged zinc patina with minor storage scuffs. The interior bottom well and the bottom perimeter rim show typical uniform surface rust and mineral scale from agricultural/coal storage use over the years.
Shovels: Strong weathered condition. The three iron shovels feature heavy, authentic surface rust and deep patina lending them a fantastic primitive look. The steel shovel remains rigid and mostly bright with only minimal surface spots. No broken handles or completely rusted-through edges detected.
