Looks like a picnic basket - here is another one by the same person...

Kingjoker, I agree with Aaron that it's a picnic basket, and it's super!

College stuff like this tends to sell pretty well. About 10 years ago, I used to buy every bit of vintage Ivy League stuff I could find. I'd advertise it in the fall for parents of new students just starting off at college, and in the spring as the "perfect gift for the graduate".

It's been a while since I did any selling, but I always managed to sell every piece I found.

NOT for a yard sale or flea market, by the way (unless you're in Cambridge!) Remember that students from Harvard come from all over the place, so make it available online.
