Bucket, Fire

Fire Bucket. A leather fire bucket painted with a scene of Mercury flying while blowing a trumpet. The word "fire" emerges from the trumpet in red letters. A banner above the scene says "Israel Ward." A now illegible banner is positioned underneath the image, with the date 1806 below. The bucket's broken handle is composed of leather and rope attached to a D-shaped buckle ring on one side, and a large wire staple on the other.
