Old gas pump
I'm sure every miniaturist has a Holy Grail or two...I'd say I have roughly a dozen. These are miniatures we long for but cannot find, or perhaps afford. I searched extensively for this metal trash can, and now I have one in my collection. It has the perfect metallic finish and ribbed detailing. There is no maker's mark, and it came from an estate without any additional information. I've seen this item only once in the book Dolls' House Shopkeeper by Lionel and Ann Barnard. Excellent book, by the way. So, one Holy Grail down!
I will not be altering this item in any way, so it might be too clean for the barn. But, the Brownstone has that fancy trash nook.
The other item I've acquired recently already has the aging in place. You can find these old gas pumps easily and in a number of scales, but they look new. I could have done the aging, but this saves me the time.
