Wooden bucket with iron bands and original rope handle. Underside with paper label inscribed "Gift. C.D. Higby." Side with paper label inscribed "'Kearsarge'". Diam. 10 7/8 in. H.10 1/4 in.

An antique wooden bucket with attribution to the Mohican-class sloop-of-war USS Kearsarge, best known for her surprising defeat of the famed CSS Alabama off Cherbourg, France.

On 19 June 1864, the newly ironclad USS Kearsarge awaited the Alabama outside the neutral French port Cherbourg. Semmes, unaware of the Kearsarge's recent upgrades, engaged, but was bested in the single-ship action.

Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly. We are happy to offer complimentary drop-off service to local third-party packing/shipping companies in Columbus, Ohio. Once an item is dropped off and no longer in our possession, Fleischer's Auctions is not liable for the item's safe handling or shipment to the successful bidder.
