Aluminum tub...age and intended use???

[mope540]

I'm assuming that this tub was either for harvesting produce, or sold as a wash tub. Which, if either, is correct?? Approx. age?? It sits 11" high, and measures 17 1/2" across the top. Just curious...i'm keeping it because it comes in handy at times. Thanks!!!

Looks like it will hold ice and beverages of your choice very nicely

We used similar tubs as "ash cans" for coal stoves and furnaces.....Joe McDonough
