History:

Coal scuttles were designed as a contianer that held a small amount of coal for household use like stoves and heaters. Coal scuttles were present through the 1800s and early 1900s. Your item appears to be from the 1910-1920 when it was made. My guess is that it would be brass as most coal scuttlers were made of brass. "Coal Scuttle" in Latin means "Shallow Pan."

Market & Value:

The market for these items are decent as people buy them as decoration pieces. Your item appears to be in greta condition but appears to be bland compared to others as there is not much markings or designs on it. I'd appraise your item at $30

Recent Selling Prices:

The recent selling prices average exactly $18.91 which is below the valued price. I would reccomend you to hold onto the item until the market rises.
