About this barrel
This Royal Navy rum tub is described by the seller as an extremely rare 'King' ration issue tub or barrel. It is dated c.1901-52, a span that covers the reigns of Britain's kings in the 20th century. It is built of oak and listed at $4,541.48, so it suits serious naval militaria collectors more than casual decor buyers.
