What a great idea for the season. Could be used as a centerpiece filled with fall items, a sewing basket, with a liner could be used as an ice bucket. The details the bottom has Putney?(hard to read) basket,Ville Vermont. The apple design has by Fay. A wooden handle that is held in place by wood pegs. Measures about 12 inches across, stands about 8 inches high. The metal bands are tight, they do have some rust. There is the handling bumps and scratches. The one apple has a spot/wear, that's from the handle hitting the side of the bucket. Overall it looks rather clean. Questions e-mail.
