This is a graniteware minnow bucket with a canvas cover so your minnows don't freeze in the winter during ice fishing. The top and cover do not look home made. 10 inches high, bottom is 6 inches, the top is 4 inches, the bail is 4 inches. Any Idea of year of manufacture or who made it. The canvas type goes back to 1860. This piece was found in a old fish camp cabin in Minnesota.
