| This gorgeous Arts and Crafts Coal Hod is from the very late 19th century, early 20th century. Later coal hods, also called coal scuttles, had, like this one, a more vertical helmet shape and swing handles. This hod, as you see, has one fixed and one swinging handle. It weighs about 4 pounds. The mounts appear to be dark brass or bronze. Overall the piece is in excellent condition: beautiful, sturdy and useful. A very special addition to the hearth, it will be perfect to hold kindling, pine cones and such all winter -- and make a great magazine holder in summertime, too, since it's so long: 12 inches back to front. Width is 10 inches and height is 10 inches. Naturally a piece this old is hand-wrought. Hallmark on the bottom would indicate that it was made in Aurora-- a place synonemous with the Roycroft movement | |
