ANTIQUE 1800'S TRAPPER'S & HIKING BASKET, ADIRONDACK, NEW YORK STYLE;
THIS IS A RARE, ORIGINAL, TRAPPER'S BASKET PACK, USED FOR CARRYING HUNTER'S SUPPLIES (TRAPS, STAKES, LINES, HATCHET, KNIFE AND MISC. TOOLS ASSOCIATED WITH TRAPPING). IT IS ALL ORIGINAL. FROM THE LATE 1800'S OR EARLY 1900'S. ACQUIRED FROM THE ESTATE OF A COLLECTOR WHO TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
MATERIALS: WOOD STRIPS (TYPE UNKNOWN, PERHAPS ASH); HORIZONTAL CONSIST OF ALTERNATING STRIPS 1 ...1/2" WIDE AND 3/4" WIDE. THE BOTTOM 5 LAYERS ARE ALL MADE UP OF 3/4" STRIPS. THE VERTICAL STRIPS ARE 1 1/2" WIDE.
THE TOP OF FRAME IS GENERALLY IN A "D" SHAPED PATTERN, MADE UP OF MULTIPLE LAYERS OF 1 1/2" STRIPS, JOINED TOGETHER WITH RIVETS. THERE IS A 3 3/4" X 3/8" SOLID PIECE OF WOOD IN THE REAR, FLAT PORTION OF THE TOP, WITH NAILS ATTACHING SLATS.
THE BOTTOM OF THE PACK CONTAINS A BASE MADE UP OF TWO 12' x 1 1/4" PIECES OF WOOD THROUGH WHICH A DADO HAS BEEN CUT AND INTO WHICH THE CARRYING STRAPS PASS. THERE ARE CORRESPONDING WOODEN PIECES IN THE BOTTOM INSIDE OF THE BASKET WHICH ARE NAILED TO THE 2 BASE PIECES.
THE CARRYING STRAPS ARE 1 3/8" WIDE AND ARE ADJUSTABLE.
CONDITION: THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE STRIPS HAVE BROKEN: THE CENTER STRIP IN THE BOTTOM ( 1 1/2" STRIP) AND ONE CASE IN THE CENTER OF THE BACK ( 3/4" STRIP). THERE ARE 3 BROKEN OR PARTIALLY MISSING 3/4" PIECES AT THE BOTTOM OF ONE CORNER. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE SMALL PIECES HAVE SPLIT OFF OF A STRIP. SEE PHOTOS.
STILL, FAIRLY SOLID. I CARRIED 15 LBS OF ITEMS FROM THE AUCTION IN IT.
THE ITEM IS SOILED AND IN SOME PLACES STAINED. IT WAS USED OUTDOORS FOR 100 YEARS OR SO. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
"AS IS" AND USED.
SIZE: 19 3/4" H;
