[QUOTE="Jminozzi, post: 438716, member: 9351"]Good morning! I have a jug that is covered with a basket that is falling apart. The basket part is so dry and brittle that it just breaks off if you touch it and I'm not sure what to do to keep it from getting further damaged. I have no idea how to care for old baskets. The jug belonged to my GGG grandfather and he brought it with him when he immigrated in 1853. I'm not sure exactly how old it is as that is the only info I have to date it. I'd love to be able to keep it from further ruin but don't want to do the wrong thing and make it worse. Any advice? -Joy[/QUOTE]
