Primitive Antique Round Tin Sifter Wire Screen Separator Sieve with Loop For Hanging - Primitive Farmhouse Kitchen Decor - 8-1/4" Round 

This separator sieve has a small fine screen with sloping sides, small round pedestal, and a small metal loop for hanging.The fine intact wire mesh is firmly attached to the frame with hand-soldered seams and a bottom that is also hand-soldered to sides.   The sieve side consist of 1 panel joined by lapped edges.  No manufacturer names that I note. 

CONDITION: Very good, with lovely aged patina that tin develops through the decades. There is no damage and is clean. Firm and structurally sound this sieve sits evenly. One small dot of rust on the inside with no rust-through broken areas.   Mostly dark tin patina.   One shallow dent crease. Has a great primitive look. So many ways to repurpose. It is in as found condition and has not been cleaned to retain its primitive appearance. This will make a spectacular addition to your collection and to enhance a existing tin collection. Irregularities in the surface belong to this country item and are consciously wanted and represent no lack of quality.

The sifter is 8-1/4 inches in diameter at the top. The pedestal base is 4-1/2 inches in diameter standing 3 inches tall. Weighs 4 ounces.

Acquired at a Western New York estate auction in an old country farmhouse. Nice old primitive piece in very good condition with wear consistent with the age dating from the turn of the century.

Perfect for holding fruits and vegetables, displaying shells at the beach, hanging on the wall or using as a centerpiece. I fill it with cranberries and christmas bulbs at Christmas as part of a display.

Today it would serve well as a primitive or antique decorating item in a country kitchen or farming related display.
