Vintage Tobacco Basket

Item Details

A vintage handmade white oak tobacco basket. The large flat open lattice weave basket was used for handling hands of dried tobacco in the warehouses prior to sale. Producers have switched to mechanical baling machines so tobacco baskets are now a piece of agricultural history. The basket is stenciled on the rim ‘NEW LINK’ and ‘L260’ and has traces of yellow paint.
