Wonderful, vintage, newspaper or magazine caddy salvaged from Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is made of solid wood and wicker. The handle and outer walls of the basket are arched, and the outer walls have a lovely, diamond-shaped pattern in the center.
I'm estimating that the piece is about 40 - 50 years old.
Although the piece was painted pink, there are spots where the paint chipped or wore off, revealing the white, under layer of paint (possibly the primer coats).
One of the narrow sides of the basket is slightly slanted, which makes me believe that this caddy may have been handmade. The rail wasn't impacted or forced into a slant; it popular was just made that way.
Our carpenter inspected the piece from top to bottom, inside and out and there was nothing for him to repair, replace, or even tighten/reinforce. The wicker is 99% intact and tightly woven but does have the common nicks and scratches that you would expect to find on an old, used, basket. However, there are no breaks, cracks, rot, or warp. All of the joints are tight, and overall, the caddy is strong, sturdy, and ready for a lifetime of service!
