What are Collectors Groups? Should I Put An Appraisal Request There?

Instappraisal's Collector's Groups are highly-specialized area regarding popular categories of antique, collectible, and art collecting. Think of them as little sub-sites specializing in just the area that you are interested in. Collector's Group focus on everything from antique radio restoration to porcelain and china collecting. You can do many things in each of the Collector's Groups such as putting in an appraisal request regarding that group's topic, post a page which can contain anything from how to collect in that topic to how to restore or repair.

German Gathering or Shopping Basket Cart

Category

General Antiques & Collectibles

Medium

Wicker or thin wooden slats

Marks or Signature

initials are 'written' on side of cart, but think that is owner, not maker

Date Made

1800's - believe that it came over on boat from Germany with my ancestors

Price Paid (If known)

not known

Size and Dimension

abt 36" tall to handle; abt 14" across; abt 9" deep

Weight

abt 5 pounds

Condition

Good

History

My Grandmother told me her Great Aunt would take this basket to market when she shopped.

Description

My Grandmother was born in 1912 in this country. Her Mother was born in 1886 in Germany, and her Great Aunt was born around 1860.

These baskets/carts were used in Germany, but I cannot find much history on them in this country.

So sometime between 1886 and 1912 (I think it was before 1900), my ancestors came to this country from Germany. I have other things that 'came over on the boat' with my ancestors...linens, flower bulbs, etc...so I feel this was probably something that came with them too.

I'm coming up completely empty handed on this. Would appreciate any contribution.

Thank you.
