About the Item

This early 20th-century Public Bond Lottery Drum from the Brussels Water Company tells a fascinating story of Belgian civic history. Dated 1912, it was once used to draw public bond numbers, a method of financing city projects before modern banking systems. Crafted in Brussels by Fisch Cie, the metal drum still holds its original paper tickets and hand-painted lettering. Every month, our containers bring in remarkable pieces like this — each carrying its own history, craftsmanship, and connection to the past.
