- Coal Box (purdonium) - A purdonium is another name for a coal scuttle, also called a "hod" "coal bucket" or "coal pail". A purdonium usually has some type of handle on top, and has a slanted hinged lid that is raised to open it, and an inner removable metal container for the coal.
"Purdonium" was a trade name first used by one of the manufacturers of coal scuttles in the mid 19th century but is very little used today.
