I picked this up at a farm auction. Thought it was pretty cool apparently it must be like an egg basket. It's old has some Rust lots of character.

The vintage metal wire basket with a handle is a medium-sized antique piece perfect for gathering eggs, clams, oysters, and produce. Made of metal with a rustic metal color, this unsigned basket exudes a primitive charm. With its sturdy construction and convenient handle, this basket is a versatile and practical addition to any collection or a unique decorative piece for a rustic or country-inspired setting.
