Old Farm Implement In Tuolumne County

' What Is It ? '
Out in the country many things can be found !
This is one of them. What did it hold?
Water? Wine? Gold Nuggets going to San Francisco?
Is the steel frame original or added later ?
And why is that bunny on top?

You will notice that there is a profile cutout of a fish (rainbow trout, I think) on the front of the barrel, and it it is fitted with wheels and a towbar.

I believe it was used to transport fish and bunnies to the high country from the hatcheries and rabbit warrens where they had an excess.
