Hi Adrian
You may wish to try some of the resources available at Archive.org. I just
started using the site for some research and I have come across
several institutions that have extensive digitized collections of trade
catalogues from at least the 1850s to the 1930s.
I glanced at a few of the "general hardware catalogs" and have come across
info regarding pales/buckets.
I hope this helps in your endeavor.
If you, or anyone else, is aware of other sites with extensive collections
of digitized trade catalogues, please let me know.
