Can you give some idea of size?

And what are the letters on photo no. 3. (On the bottom)?

The 15 means 15 gallons. Those are fairly common down here. In good shape, can be found anywhere from $50 to $200. Lots have been drilled and made into planters. Probably made late 1800's, early 1900's. Sorry, no help on who made it.

This is the second time I've put my foot in my mouth here. I'm sure Doug will be along soon to ban me from posting.

I saw Age, History, Value..... As that's what most people want to know, but very few actually list dimensions. You actually did and I skipped right over it.
