What is a leather fire bucket used for?
1 Answer
Leather buckets were used as fire extinguishers, and were generally found in pairs. There would be a large linen bag rolled up inside for one to quickly pack belongings. Water from any nearby water source would be brought in these buckets to extinguish the fire. You can find an assortment of leather fire buckets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
