Primitive Fruit Produce Co. MN Rustic Wooden Barrel

  A very cool staved primitive oak early bourbon, whiskey barrel or wine fruit barrel.  It is stamped at the inside bottom of the barrel what looks to read...Fex n Fruit Produce Co. So. ???? Minn.

This is as found condition and looks like someone burned inside at one time....this only shows up on the interior walls, not the base, so kind of weird. I still believe this to be quite attractive and decorative. The bands are showing heavy surface rust but are solid....and as can be seen in photos, have slipped from their locations due to shrinkage.  No lid. Some of the slats are bulging but I believe with the bands put back in place, they can be as well.

This will make a wonderful decorating item especially in the autumn season or holidays. A good decorating piece for porch, store front, home bar or craft project.

Tall willow or cat-tails, corn stocks for autumn, put a pirate, skeleton or pumpkin in or on it for Halloween, use greenery, Christmas pine etc would make this pop for the Christmas holidays and add a great country feel for your rustic decor.

It measures approx. 21.5" tall x 16" widest x 12.5" at the opening. Note the large wood stopper in the center where a spigot went.
