What is it? Game 77

Sauerkraut.

A compost bucket

It’s for making buttermilk, yogurt, or clabbering butter.

It’s definitely a bucket for making sauerkraut.

Toilet Bowl :]

it looks like a simple garbage can you find at parks; the top part is a cheap lock to keep raccoons away.

Looks like my grandmother’s nukazuke container. (pickled fermented rice bran)

I thought those were for making/aging/moving sake.

lye

Sauerkraut, I think.

Wait wait… does the link up above.. the one that says “Fermenting crock pot” give the answer away?

Demons. This bucket is from the 1600′s and is made of hazelwood. At the time a miscariage was blamed on evil demons and so to coax the demon out of the womb the bucket was ‘baited’ with ‘birthing blood’ and place in the room with the victim. At dawn the bucket was covered and barred before the second crowing of the cock.

Of course, this was all superstition and reflected the barbarity and ignorance of aur forefathers, but I wouldn’t open it just the same.

it’s a bucket for collecting maple tree sap so maple syrup can be made out of it.

It’s a chamber pot.

It’s failed prototype #34 from when they were designing the first cube

a honey bucket….:)

It’s for stealing from victorian-era walruses.

It’s a bucket to collect maple sap in. The bars inside are to catch leaves and sticks that may fall in. The notches on the bottom are to sit on two nails hammered into the tree.

It’s a Japanese mochi pestle!
Just really old.

Could this possibly be a bucket from a guillotine?

ice cream

waterwheel spout

It’s a table for cutting the heads off chickens.

Put their neck under the lever to hold ‘em down, chop em off, and let the head fall in the bucket.

Kinda gross if you ask me…
