Sap Bucket Photos


What does a classic antique sap bucket look like? They vary like the days. Each is rich with its own unique history. True antique sap buckets were used over many years by many different people to collect sap to make syrup. Each sap bucket greeted the sun, wind, rain, and snow each day in its unique tree and tap, so every sap bucket is slightly different. Look for a great patina, with deep rich colors, definitely rust, and even some pitting. Hey, they are antiques and were really used in tough physical labor.
