Hi Brian,

I must say, the one in the middle is really nice. Very elegant-looking without

That would be an SW-11 basket, circa 1600 AD. And indeed, it is very elegant!
The blade I have on it is more 1650s and beyond, but it still looks nice.
Hi Allen!
Don't know how heavy this basket is, as I've nothing to measure it with, but
I'm working on getting a scale. It's not heavy to me though, lighter than I
expected even. The cutouts aren't that thick-- Eljay really managed to keep
the weight down.

PS. Here's the Lady McCracken with the football basket, on the attack!
