The lid is just about an inch or two deep and slides in. You are making me want to scrub mine up. . it has just been sitting on top of the china cabinet. I am afraid cleaning might destroy what graphics (old Pal) that is still on there?

BilletHead That's pretty neat, I'd maybe test a little spot with some Brasso to see what effect it has, but like Gavin says, maybe it is best left untouched. Did you do a search on Old Pal minnow buckets?

Bushbeater Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 We went to the Jacobs Cave flea market today, saw quite a few there, but everything is priced similar to Ebay. What really surprised me is the old glass jar minnow traps. Most are $75 or better and one new in box from the fifties was $200. We have like 3 of the buckets as BH pictured and 2 Old Pal galvanized worm containers. One of them is the style you clip on your belt for wade fishing. I bet that makes some of the fly guys cringe. We did find a couple of deals on reels, I bought 2 Calcuttas and a Bantam at a very good price.
