Proper Rum Barrels

Anybody know where I can get one of these? Are they still made anywhere? Did a google search but can't find any.

Quick furcle of ebay turned this up, over a year old, prolly tells its own story as to availability or likelihood...

Royal Naval 'Grog Tub' Oak Rum Barrel - Rationing for the Traditional Tot | eBay

This place has some barrels, rum fannys and such, but mixing tubs seem to be thin on the ground, as their site seems to have been produced with some ancient frontpage it might be simpler to call them.

You'd have thought some antique shop in Pompey or Guzz would be knocking out repros??

Uxbridge RNA has got one of those bad boys in the back bar.

 

I have one (not for sale!) from the original disposal per AFO in 1970 when all the rum kit was sold off. But there must have been clearouts before that given the run down of the Fleet after the war?

 

We have one for our Association. When I was checking it,s value for insurances purposes. I found a retired Chippy who made them for about £700 quid. That was about ten years ago.
sorry I don,t have the address anymore.

 

I think I need one of these signs though... (mildly NSFW)

Made it? Should have 'I am a grog tub walt' stencilled on its bottom. Bet it hasn't got the plugged up holes for THE KING etc round the other side.

 

Whats the price on one of those, Barney?
