Schoolhouse Wastebasket Vintage Decorative Bare Metal

Wounded but very functional wastebasket from an old classroom, manufactured by Lawson Products, Chicago.  It will fail as an ice bucket or water pail but do a fine job of holding paper trash, potatoes, skeins of yarn, toys, dog toys or pine cones.
