History
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.
