If the payer gave the baker a vessel (keli) as an act of barter (chalifin/kinyan sudar) along with the instruction to acquire the eruv, is the eruv valid?

Giving a vessel to the baker as kinyan sudar (symbolic barter) in connection with the eruv instruction effects a valid eruv, because barter (chalifin) — unlike money — constitutes a complete halakhic acquisition.
