[QUOTE="schmo, post: 477352, member: 9684"]I bought this recently at an antique store. The tag said 19th century and that it was used as tea storage. But I'm dubious about that. Looks like someone just painted the word "Ceylon" and decided to store their tea in it. No matter. I intend to use it as a laundry hamper. But I'm curious what it exactly is. Feels like it might be made of tin. Extremely light. And the brown paint is different than the black paint on the sides. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
