[QUOTE="Lewie, post: 438130, member: 9250"]Thanks for all the replies. It was the open grain and two other of my items that put bamboo in my head. But looking properly, I'm with you all, wood it is. I need help; I put the words you posted '466 best baskets to love' in google and up popped a picture showing a similar example of another of my 5 items. I couldn't find anything similar when I looked so thanks for that. Some are calling them 'lunch boxes'? Still no concrete evidence of what they were for originally The 'basket' you have posted a picture of was advertised at $120 and is no longer available so I assume it sold. Time for a sale of my own me thinks. :) UPDATE Found this [URL]https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels/7066883-wooden-lunchbox-china-ca-1920[/URL] So maybe the handled one is a lunch box. The one without a handle obviously wouldn't be practical, rather awkward to carry.[/QUOTE]
