Repair copper pots, galvanized pots and metal pails
(Repair copper pots, galvanized pots and metal pails)
In the past, most daily commodities such as basons, buckets and plates were made of ironware, which were easy to be broken.
The man pushed a small dolly along the street and yelled “Repair broken pots and pails!” The small dolly was very interesting. Besides some necessary facilities, it also had a small charcoal stove used to burn iron scoop, accompanied with a manual fan. When the swinging the fan, the nice fire leapt out from the stove, very interesting.
