Bushel Orchard Basket retail

Back before everything was mechanical, bushel baskets were divided out among folks at orchards and people were expected to gather their own goods. Now, we rely on others to do these jobs, leaving these bushel baskets to return to the earth once more. This basket came from retail 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.
