Poor Bucket... It's authentic but sitting in water!

Don't worry about it - the 4 little feet prop up the bag away from the water. Plus, the bottom is canvas. It'd be a different story if the seller placed a mono Alma (with unprotected vachetta) on a wet surface...then I'd say: "What the h*** are you doing?!!" :biggrin:
 
i dont think its water, it looks more like varnish... check out the drips on the side of the wood. But i could be wrong.

I thought of varnish, too, but varnish would've left a 'trail' along the side to the drops of water underneath the edge. Some drops have trails but others have already evaporated leaving the drip. It's definitely water...
 
It's in great condition though! Even if it does get a bit of water on the handles... I was going to bid on it but something else popped up in the meantime that I'd rather have...
