Included in this lot is an antique miners wire basket or "Hanger", originating from Butte, Montana. The basket is constructed of steel wire, and has a pulley attached to a heavy duty lag bolt. The basket attaches to a long link chain, and has a set of hooks which would hang from the bottom. These baskets, or "hangers" were attached to the ceiling of the mine, and could be raised and lowered to dry wet clothes. The basket is in good condition overall, it does display some patina. The basket alone measures 12" wide, 12" deep, and 12 1/4" tall.
