This is rare and very nice ! It's from the early 1900s. It's an English brass coal scuttle that has the built in shovel. Also has a hinged lid. Looks awesome for its age, now it does have some green deposit on it, will need to be cleaned and polished bright if you like that. May also have a few small dings in it also..it is over 120 years old. Enlarge the pictures for better details. Again a great piece to have, look great sitting by the fireplace. Good luck!
