Vtg Erie Automatic Mop Wringer Bucket 10 Qt Galvanized Metal Wood Rollers 1950s
Item Description
This is a fantastic piece of authentic Americana—a Vintage Erie Automatic Mop Wringer Bucket manufactured by the Erie Mop & Wringer Company (Girard, PA).
Featuring a heavy-duty galvanized steel body, an integrated foot-pedal spring mechanism, and two original wooden rollers, this piece perfectly captures the classic industrial farmhouse aesthetic. The inner bottom features the authentic embossed size marking "10" (indicating its 10-quart capacity). The original paper label is still present on the front, adding immense vintage charm and character.
Please note that there is a very slow, minor seep/leak from the rusted areas on the bottom, so it is not recommended for holding standing water long-term. However, it is absolutely perfect as an outdoor rustic planter, garden container, laundry room decor, storage solution, or a standout display piece for a rustic store or patio.
