NOS! Vintage 1950’s JV Reed & Co. MCM Painted
Metal Waste Basket Trash Can Unused
This listing is for a vintage
J.V. Reed & Co. Wedgewood blue metal waste basket. The painted metal trash can is in very good,
unused condition. There is some wear from
70+ years of storage including very minor paint loss on the rims and an occasional
shallow dent (without creasing). The
paint is clean and clear, and the surface has a nice shine. The mid-century modern waste basket measures
approximately 9 1/8” tall with an oval shape of 9 ¾” by 7” at the top and 7 ½”
by 5 ¼” at the bottom. The thin metal trashcan weighs just over 10
ounces. The stamped bottom shows it was
made in the 1950’s or early 1960’s by J. V. Reed & Co. of Louisville,
Kentucky.
We obtained
this and other similar waste cans at the liquidation of an 80-year-old neighborhood
hardware store in Northeast Philadelphia.
