Dating & Historical Context
- Dating: This genuine piece of British breweriana dates to the late 1970s or early 1980s. Its geometric styling beautifully aligns with the mid-to-late 20th-century trend of bold, heavy-duty commercial plastics engineered specifically for high-use public bar environments.
- Historical Note: A true piece of British manufacturing heritage, the base displays the crisp injection-moulding maker's mark of Express Moulds Ltd, operating out of Alma Crescent in Birmingham under the historic 021 landline prefix. This bucket was distributed directly to British pubs and off-licences as part of premium promotional campaigns for Alfred Lamb's legendary Navy Rum blend. The unique hexagonal silhouette directly pays homage to the legendary hexagonal glass bottles introduced by Alfred Lamb in 1849, which were designed specifically to prevent his rum bottles from rolling across ship tables during heavy seas!

Expert Identification & Design Features:
This complete three-piece set is exceptionally rare because it retains its original internal clear liner in unblemished condition. Weighing a substantial, heavy-duty 910g unpacked, the sheer density of the build reflects its premium industrial manufacturing heritage. The funnelled, slotted base of this internal sleeve allows melted water to drain underneath, ensuring your ice cubes remain crisp, dry, and clean rather than sitting in a pool of water. The heavy-duty recessed lid is designed with a seamless integrated handle that allows for easy removal while remaining flush to complement the clean, structural lines of the bucket.
