What is this bucket for ?

Mario says:

 I was hoping you might be able to help me identify the attached photo.  This is an 8 sided cast iron item that was found in my grandfathers house and we don’t know what it is.  Any help would be much appreciated.  

Thank You in advance
Mario

AW says: That’s a coal-hard or a coal sifting bucket, I believe. You would empty the  red coals fro a stove into this bucket and the ashes would fall to the bottom to be dispersed as the top coals burned out. I’m pretty sure that’s what it is, I’ve never seen one like this before. Let’s see what my audience has to say.

Does anyone know for sure what this is? If so leave your answer in the comments section.
