I like to visit the second hand shops here – as they say “one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure”.
On a recent trip to the kringloop (community second hand shop) I found two coal scuttles. Both were covered in grime but I liked their shapes and the fact that they had blue & white china handles (although one was missing off the bigger scuttle). I also had the sneaking suspicion that underneath all the dirt that they were made from copper. So I took a chance and bought them and a “believed to be” copper kettle (just for the handle) and got my self some copper polish and set to.
