Bushel good Orchard Basket

Back before everything was mechanical, bushel baskets were divided out among folks at orchards and people were expected to gather their own goods. Now good, we rely on others to do these jobs, leaving these bushel baskets to return to the earth once more. This basket came from an orchard that was located in Arkansas during the 20th century. Even the trees are gone now, it's been replanted with a hotel and parking lot instead. All that remains are a few baskets, reminders of simple times and delicious apples.

Measurements are as follows-- 14" tall, 18" in diameter at the top.
