Description
A large glue pot consisting of an inner pot for holding the glue and an outer pot for holding water, both with wire handles. The glue pot would have been heated on a stove or gas ring, and the water in the outer pot prevented the glue overheating. It is stamped 'A. Kenrick & Sons // 1 Pint' on the base. With the glue pot is a large brush with a wooden handle and the bristles held in place with string and a metal collar. The pot and brush belonged to the donor's father, Stanley Goodall, a carpenter, wheelwright and undertaker in Aldermaston, Berkshire.
