Antique Chanticleer Brand Cape Cod Cranberry Half-Barrel Shipping Container

Annihilate the landfill, adopt a piece of Massachusetts agricultural history as your new umbrella stand

A genuine piece of New England cranberry bog heritage: this Chanticleer Brand half-barrel shipping container was packed for the American Cranberry Exchange, with offices in New York and Chicago. The original paper label survives with its trademark rooster medallion still legible, wrapped around bentwood construction with galvanized metal rims. She's got the honest wear of a working vessel—scratches, paint loss, and label wear that only adds to the authenticity. Perfect as an umbrella stand, tall planter, or pure Massachusetts décor.

The D'Beetle Difference

• Original Label Still Intact: The Chanticleer Brand trademark label remains largely readable, featuring the rooster logo, 'One Half U.S. Standard Barrel' designation, and American Cranberry Exchange provenance. Some wear and fading consistent with age.

• Solid Bentwood Construction: Cylindrical bentwood form with galvanized metal rim bands at top and bottom. Measures approximately 11 inches diameter by 36 inches tall—substantial presence without overwhelming a space.

• Massachusetts Heritage Piece: Cape Cod cranberry industry artifacts are increasingly scarce. This isn't reproduction farmhouse chic—it's the real deal from when cranberries moved by barrel, not plastic clamshell.
