Vintage Wire Mesh Basket Decorative Industrial Accessory

Wire basket from old factory, used to dip and drain metal parts in a degreasing process.
Would make an interesting log holder, easily holding eight to ten  3" x 24" logs, or an ornament in the garden.
The edges of the holes in the wire mesh are quite sharp, making it important to use the handles to carry it and a bad choice for use by children.
