About this Coal Scuttle:
This vintage coal scuttle from the 1950s is a fine example of functional design from an era when the coal stove was the heart of the home. Its design is both thoughtful and practical: the tapered shape prevents tipping, while the angled opening made daily use easier. The double handles allowed the scuttle to be carried and emptied with ease.
