[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2224430, member: 84"]I found this at a estate sale I went to today - they were using it as garden art. When I asked they also had no idea what it was, but for $20 I grabbed it! My first thought was a child rescue cage (that a helicopter would use in mountain or water rescues) and right behind that I thought maybe it was something you'd put in the river or lake or whatever body of water you were fishing in & whenever you caught something you could drop it in it so it could breathe and swim around - and basically keep it alive longer so it was fresher when you were ready to cook it or leave? I wouldn't be surprised if both are wrong! Any ideas? PS - it measures 35"Long x 19"Wide x 16"High (at base which is largest areas) Thank you!
