A Vintage Industrial Steel Gas Cylinder and Ward Plastic Watering Can - A vintage industrial steel gas cylinder and Ward plastic watering can. The cylinder is of welded metal construction featuring a domed shoulder and a protective metal cradle handle surrounding the top-mounted valve assembly. The shoulder bears an embossed mark that is heavily obscured by surface oxidation; while the characters 'O' and 'R' are partially distinguishable, the full name is not clearly legible. The valve is currently fitted with a grey plastic protective cap and the unit sits on a flared circular ring base. The accompanying watering can is constructed from grey moulded plastic and features a top carry handle and a side pouring spout with the name 'WARD' embossed within an oval cartouche on its side. The gas cylinder bears a white adhesive auction label printed with 'HCP Auctions South West', 'Lot 121', and 'www.hcpauctions.net', alongside a second white label with handwritten characters '5677'. The cylinder's structural integrity, internal pressure, and valve functionality are untested. Capacity and fuel type are unverified.
