I paid $4. It was spray painted badly and I started to scrape off the rough parts just with my fingernail to smooth it so I could repaint it and I discovered it’s not the typical wire basket I have seen - it’s made of brass? copper? something else? </p><p><br /></p><p>It has a really pretty patina I don’t want to ruin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really love this little basket and I will happily undertake a more time consuming method if it’s better for the patina. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you know anything about the basket type / time period it is likely from I would love to hear that too! </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your help!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
