This is a well kept clean Ohio home, 5 bedrooms lots of closets, 57 years in the home. My mother-in-law's parents were somewhat well to do East Coasters from 1850 on, some nicer things being left even in the home for the new owners.

We are close to being done, actually I'm flying back home tomorrow, just noticed this basket that had magazines. Probably nothing but wanted to check before leaving it. Approx 12-14 inches across, maybe 10 high. Limited photos from my cell. It's not one of those Nantucket baskets by any chance? The way the handle fits in is pretty specific, with a metal attachment as shown in first photo. Sorry for the bad photos. Color is a darker brown, photo was by a window, came out very washed out. Thanks. [ATTACH=full]174850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174852[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
