Also- does Wismis offer vintage blue bucket appraisals? “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Too bad it's not got the elusive lighter blue writing on it. Last one of those I saw went for over $100 and that was nearly 20 years ago. They are what you call the holy grail of buckets. It's comical these new guys mention painting them or buying them new, lol, they'll learn someday.

I read an article a few months ago that talked about the older metal blue buckets before the plastic took over. It said one of those in above average condition would sell high enough to retire comfortably on.
