<p>[QUOTE="pingis, post: 216186, member: 1726"]Here is a late answer. I live an hour south of Fagersta. Fagersta is a little town where there has been iron industry and a rather big iron foundry for hundreds of years. The word "skänk" in Swedish can mean sideboard or donation but in this case it means the name of the bucket used when pouring molten iron into the mold. So I feel pretty sure this is a miniature foundry bucket once sold as a souvenir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
