Description :
Empty steel drinking water storage container drums, originally manufactured for fallout shelters in the early 1960s. In case of emergency, this 17.5-gallon container could supply one quart of water per day for five people for two weeks (14 days). The containers were not meant to hold water themselves because the steel would rust. So, 4-mil polyethylene plastic liners were used inside to hold the water. These were twist-tied shut, and sealed on top with the steel lid. They could also be used as a portable toilet. Instructions for use are conveniently written right on the container so they can’t be misplaced. These two containers are in very good shape and both have their lids.
Dimensions : 16.5 in W x 23 in H
