Driving around today, seen this on the front step of a house. Big pot, flat bailer.

There are a few big pots being used as planters around my area, At least 2 that I can think of are hanging from tripods.

That is cool with the flat bail, to bad the bail isn't flipped towards you.  ;)
 So you seen this from the road parked walked right up to the front porch and took a pic. LOL.. I love it.

Hello Ed. I was thinking the exact same thing. Some places, if you walk up and do that, you'll be LUCKY if you only get pistol whipped.  ;D

Sorry, must have mucked up the attachments when posting.

Homeowner was mowing his lawn, seen the pot and stopped. Asked him what he knew about it, only that it was from Quebec. Couldn't get any great pics, it's in a bad spot and too heavy to move but here's a few more pics. Very robust, handle was removable, excites me to see stuff like this. I suspect it's pretty old.

I love the removable flat bail and handles.
