| Description : | This black, iron coal scuttle has a large lip on one side, providing easy scooping access, and a small handle attached to the other side, half way down the scuttle. It flares out slightly at the bottom. There is a seam on the back where the metal connects. A ridge runs horizontally around the scuttle about one quarter of the way down from the top. Two pieces of metal with circular holes attached at the top of the scuttle provide a means of attaching a thin, arched handle, which hooks through these holes. |
| Commentaires : | Coal was used as a domestic fuel in Newfoundland as early as the first few decades of the nineteenth century, although, at first, using coal was a status symbol in rural Newfoundland. It gradually became a more popular fuel. Early in the twentieth century, some communities were relying heavily on coal as a fuel source, and after the second world war, coal was common in many parts of Newfoundland. Even families that primarily burned wood, occasionally used coal during particularly cold weather. Coal scuttles would thus have been common items in Newfoundland households. It was also common to have a coal scuttle in the parlour by the elaborate parlour stove or grate. This coal scuttle is of a large enough size and shape that it may also have been used for holding firewood. The design of this scuttle was common in England and North America around 1900. |
