Smaller scale, single loop handle open basket. Great little piece for great little items. Embossed in a fruit motif. *Gorgeous condition! Hammered aluminum is often referred to as "poor man's silver" because it was a popular and affordable alternative to silver, especially from the 1930s through the 1950s. Fast forward to today, hammered aluminum pieces are the new collectible treasures! *All pieces I’m offering came from a large estate sale and just a fraction of the original collection.
