Old beer barrel

[Greg White]

I found this in the Patapsco river last summer with my son. The river was the lowest I've seen it in several years. Just a bit of the wood was exposed. On the bottom it says Eigenbrot brewery, Baltimore. I let it dry out and sanded it down a bit. Then stained it, hoping to preserve it.

Open 1901-1920, prohibition must have gotten them. Nice job on the preservation.

Thanks. Ruined my back getting it out. It was heavy. Was only exposed a tiny bit. Just kicked it and it moved very slightly. Almost kept going. Nice conversation piece.

Cut it in half (lengthwise) add some hinges and felt the inside.Would make a cool treasure chest
