Do any of you use the seamed Surge milk buckets?
I just got one off Ebay as fully functional, no I found the warning from Ebay.
Hello, Please check our buyers responses, ebay awards, and no negatives to insure a trusted seller. This listing is for one antique surge milker bucket. Good used condition for it's age. Has 3 dents on top as seen in photo's. Inside is nice and does not leak. Surge made these soldered seamed milker buckets from 1936 to 1954. At that time they switched to the seamless milker bucket as the metal alloy in the soldered seams of these old ones was determined to be unsafe for human consumption. For many years now these have not even been allowed in the milk house of a grade A or grade B dairy farm by the inspectors. Not for use only for display or planter. Hard to believe after 55+ years people today are still selling these as safe to use and some will even give you a warranty. IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY SELLERS SAY THEY ARE USED BUT FULLY FUNCTIONAL MAKE THEM RETURN YOUR MONEY AS YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO. KEEP EBAY A SAFE PLACE TO SHOP NOT A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO SCAM BUYERS AND SELL UNSAFE MILKING EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST SELLING UNSAFE MILKING EQUIPMENT. I QUESS IT IS A GOOD WAY TO TELL WHICH SELLERS ARE HONEST. The metal alloy is not something that is just going to make you sick the day you use it. It will not show for many years of use. I have heard many people say they use this seamed style milker with no problem. I say for the couple dollars saved, I would buy a good one for use and not have to think about what you may have as you grow older. Not sure on exact age of bucket (between 1936 and 1954) so be your own judge. Please look at photos, read description and email questions if needed. NOT FOR USE. Shipping will be $13.99 parcel post delivery confirmation number. The $13.99 shipping is good for the lower 48 U.S. states only. If it ships for less I will refund any amount over $1.00 in overcharged shipping. We pack our items safely so see no need for insurance on this item. All others email for a quote on shipping before buying. International buyers who want a shipping quote need to email town, zip code, and country.

International shipping can be much higher on items that are heavy or don't fit in priority flat rate boxes. All additional shipping expenses to out of the states buyers will be added to the buyers total. We do combine shipping so click on "view sellers other items" for more great items. Must email for shipping quote on multiple purchases. We take pay pal only. Minnesota res. add sales tax (unless you have farm use tax number. All non-paying purchases will be reported.
