A lovely old wicker mill basket with the number 30 painted on all four sides.
 
This would have been used for dropping work in as it went through the manufacturing process. The number would possibly be the point in the factory, ie the machine either was to be returned to. This is a nice example of utilitarian vintage.
 
Measurements: 52.5 x 45.5 x 39cm high.

A fantastic toy basket or log basket, even useful in a utility for dropping your pants in!
