Heinz Gherkins Crate 1906 Made Into Potty Chair? Dated American FolkArt

By rhyfelmarch, 13 July, 2009
Description

This was made from an old Heinz crate, apparently it was painted over and then the paint peeled off back in the day. I dont know if the little cup is original or not, its coated metal.

The chair has OLD OLD OLD nails in it, I am guessing that an expert could date them exactly. My mom bought this at a sale in Utah about 30 years ago for ten dollars. I just want to know if its worth anything for what it is (hand made potty chair) or if its worth something to a collector of Heinz products more?

Thank you in advance for your replies, I deeply appreciate it!
